Well, I thought we'd have wifi . . . we didn't even have cell phone service. I guess we succeeded in getting away. Let's see . . . what did we do . . .
COSI - I believe that stands for the Columbus Science Institute or something. The kids had a good time there. Ellie's favorite part of the whole "veecation" ("I'm really enjoying our veecation, dad") was a little playground inside COSI with a mini house inside with running water and everything. Walker got to pull himself up on a pulley system. He and Ellie raced to the top, about 3.5 feet off the ground.
Columbus Zoo - The highlight there was seeing the baby elephant. The kids had to do a lot of walking there but held up pretty well for the most part. Oh, by the way, no matter what zoo you go to (3 now for us) the penguin exhibit smells awful.
From there to our "cavin" (Ellie, again). Beautiful place but I was a little worried when we showed up b/c there was a cat laying on the porch like it owned the place. I told the owners about the girls' allergies and they took care of it - it's a big place . . . a cat could have an accident and no one would ever know. The next morning we went hiking, or as much as you can hike carrying a 19 month old who just wants DOWN! We went to Concle's hollow, old man's cave, and Cedar falls. All were nice, very short hikes in cool weather. The only problem was that the waterfalls were all dried up. We'll have to go back in the spring. Well, those were the highlights, aside from Carla's birthday surprise this morning (just ask her). I'll post pictures when we get them off the camera. Wait, can you post pictures on this thing?

Sounds so nice, guys. When we stayed in Hocking Hills, we had no TV, no phone and no cell phone services, let alone Wifi.
so you had a cabin when you got there? or was this after many phone calls to get another one. Sounds like you had a wonderful time and enjoyed being together as a family!
We found a last minute cabin before we left, and it was a great find . . . beautiful place . . . loft for older 2 kids, very clean, hot tub, etc. My b-day surprise was a mouse in our bedroom - yuck! We weren't expecting WiFi @ the cabin, but at least at the hotel. Oh, well. It was a great trip!
