Roadtrip to Newark, OH

Travis and I decided to go see the Basket building last weekend.
It is in Newark Ohio, along route 16. I have seen pictures of it, but to see it in person was great. It is much larger than I thought. Here are some pictures.






Just to give you an idea of how large it is. Look at the bottom right hand side of this picture. That is my boyfriend and his car!


That wasn't all we did. We drove to a small town called Frazeysburg. This is where "The worlds largest apple basket" is. Well the area seems to be closed off to the public now. I still went in to get a picture. It is close to 30 feet tall. The apples actually look real. It was pretty cheesy, and pretty cool at the same time. :D

Kitsch At It's Finest. Blanchester, Ohio's Giant Horseshoe Crab.

Outside of the Freedom Baptist Church in Blanchester, Ohio is a giant horseshoe crab.
Meet Crabby. The world's largest horseshoe crab. 68 feet long, and 28 feet wide. It is one of MANY crazy road side attractions that makes Ohio so entertaining.


This is not only a statue. It is a theater as well! With a ceiling that is about 12-13 feet high, and a movie screen, and about enough room to fit about 60 people.**



It is a place you just have to see for yourself.

Squirrels in Ohio (Just for you Freddy&Claudia!!)

I am sure you have seen statues like this. I have seen geese ones in Longmont, CO. I have seen cow ones in Denver, CO. I have seen a lot of pig ones in Ohio. So I was surprised when I saw these statues in a suburb west of Cincinnati. They weren't the usual pig ones. They were Squirrels.
I instantly thought of my friend Fred, and his wife Claudia, when I saw the squirrels. So I took pictures of the three that I saw.







EDIT* I went back through that town, and found even more recently!
