  • Johnny Appleseed’s Grave Site – Fort Wayne, Indiana

    Visiting the Art Museum When researching ideas of what to do in Fort Wayne, I discovered John Chapman; aka Johnny Appleseed had lived there.  We decided to try to find the grave site. Close to the grave site is the Johnny Appleseed Campgrounds.  That is where we ended up at first.  We weren’t far from…

    Part 4 of our visit to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo After we were done with the zoo, we went to the Museum of Art.  It was between lightly raining and raining harder so we could not really explore the downtown area. We enjoyed the Museum.  Since it was the Friday before Halloween, they had…

During the fall, I like to do a quick get away.  Last year, we went to the Columbus Zoo and then stayed with friends of ours.  The year before that we went to Louisville, Kentucky. This year…

    This is my final post about the Toledo Zoo. Today’s video takes us to the primates and some of the bigger land animals.

    Today we are going to explore the aquarium at the Toledo Zoo.  We really enjoyed the aquarium. One of the coolest parts of the aquarium was the x ray fish.  I don’t have a photograph of them because it was difficult to take a photo.  Hubby talked about that fish for a long while after…
