Easton Town Center
Lunch at one of E' favorite restaurants during our trip
At Jeni's Fresh Ice Cream

January 8-10, 2008. After a 2-hour delay, our plane finally arrives at Port Columbus International Airport at 8PM. I had to have a picture at the airport tarmac, it was a new experience for me.

E's cousinTS and girlfriend JS took us to dinner at a Japanese restaurant and we had steak and shrimps which were cooked on our table. Good thing I didn't order rice, but I was still so full after. (Thanks TS, for the delicious dinner treat!) Since it was already late, we decided to call it a day.

The next day, JS brought us to the Easton Town Center. Wow! It was so big we didn't know where to start. We picked up a lot of bargains from there. A big sale was ongoing at C.O Bigelow with some items at 90% off! We also picked up a lot of stuff from our favorite store Bath and Body Works. We used the gift card given by TS for some of our purchases (Thanks again TS, it is a wonderful gift and we really appreciate it!) and the ever reliable credit card for the rest of the purchases! Bath and Body Works and C.O Bigelow are based in Ohio, by the way.

Now with TS and JS, we went to the highly recommended Jeni's Fresh Ice Cream. I hope to try that some time because at this point of the trip I was nursing a very bad cold already and was coughing the whole time. But everything looked good on the menu and I will make sure that the next time I visit, I will have 2 scoops.

We had dinner at the very popular Thurman Cafe (183 Thurman Ave.,(614) 443-1570 ) and had their specialty burgers. They were so good, and very big, too! Afterwhich, we watched the play "The Wedding Singer" which we enjoyed so much. Yes, it's based on the Adam Sandler movie set in the 80's (my favorite era).

Not to forget, TS and JS drove us through Ohio State University. As you know, universities are of great interest to me. I love looking at the school buildings and seeing students around, and imagining how university life is there. We also drove through the Italian and German villages.

It was a great visit! We were able to explore and enjoy the best that the city has to offer, and we had so much fun with TS and JS. Thanks TS and JS for a wonderful time!
