Roadtrip aka Akron or Bust


Picture this. It's Saturday and we've got big plans. Big Plans. There is a new restaurant that opened in NE Ohio. Guess where we're headed. There's the map.

As we follow along the map, we drive by Lake Erie which is about 2 minutes from our house. Not so beautiful today, but check it out anyway.



Obviously, we're going out to eat (bet you could have guessed that) so we need cash. First stop, the ATM.Now we drive, drive, drive. Arrive at our destination....


Only to see a paper sign on the door that says "Open at 5:00 Today". I took a pic of it, but I'm not used to the light levels and it didn't come out. Neither did the permanent sign that said "Serving from 11 AM - 1o PM". But trust me, both signs exist.

Another group was trying to go, too, so we talked with them for a minute then headed back to the car where we saw this cool sculpture sign. I already warned you about my light issues, so just squint a little. It'll look better.



Then we started our drive home trying to think of where to eat besides PF Chang's. We ended up at Vue and had some pasta. We'd met the wine manager before and he told us they could do anything. Of course, he wasn't there but we were happy adapting from the menu and it all worked out.

We made it to Akron and will definitely make the trip again.

Two morals to this story:
Call before you go and people will put anything on a sign!
