Our “want to do” list for our Colorado visit was pretty short … hike in the mountains, see a mountain stream. And a mountain lake. Check out some eateries, go to Boulder … and maybe downtown Denver. We knocked out our list like it was our job for 5 days. First the hike. We started … Read More
Red Barn Farm
One of my favorite pizza spots is on a farm. So when we wrote up our list of things to do and places to go for our staycation, The Red Barn Farm was included. The Cincinnati kids had never been to a farm for pizza, so going was a request on their staycation to … Read More
