Family Traditions

Traditions - Do you have family traditions? My parents and I love gardens, glass and food, we travel well together. We have a dozen or so little weekend trips we do each year. One trip we've done yearly for more than 20 years is the Columbus Ohio - German Village Haus and Garden Tour www.germanvillage.org You can do a pre tour on Saturday which is expensive or a day tour on Sunday which is $20 per person. I recommend the Saturday night tour. Get to know the German Village neighborhood. Treat yourself to a weekend in Columbus.

Spring thru fall we took long car rides thru the small communities late Saturday afternoon, then stopped at small restaurants for dinner. In summer we would go to the library (up above the fire station) in the small town we went to school in. You could only check out 2 books each, there we 3 of us. My sister and I read all the Hardy Boys, and our brother read all the Nancy Drew. Then the following week we would get a new supply. Small town in Michigan.
