Simon Kenton Inn

Onto my last post from our trip to Springfield, Ohio! So I wanted to do an entire blog post on where we stayed… because it was wonderful. I loved it! We were able to stay in one of the treehouses at the historic Simon Kenton Inn. For a little history, Simon Kenton was a U.S. frontiersman and a soldier. He served the United States in the Revolution, the Northwest Indian War and the War of 1812. The land was deeded to him by the U.S. government. Simon’s cabin was built adjacent to where the old Spring House still stands and a historical marker is all that remains today. These grounds have so much history, charm, and character to them. We loved exploring the inn, and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the newest additions to the property — their luxury treehouses!

Day in Springfield

Onto our first full day in Springfield, Ohio! We packed this day to the brim from morning to night… so I have lots of fun recommendations if you’re planning a visit to the city. But it felt like a good, slow, relaxing day too. We kicked off the day with coffee and a small breakfast at Un Mundo Cafe! When we got downtown and parked, we realized the cafe was right next to their farmer’s market. They have over 35 vendors, with live music, food trucks and fun all in the North Market Alley adjacent to the Heritage Center. Un Mundo Cafe is right on that little corner, so we snuck in for a coffee (soy chai for me, of course) and a lemon poppyseed muffin before making our way over to the Heritage Center for a morning of exploring!

Greetings from Springfield Mural

Greetings from Springfield, Ohio! I’m moving into a few posts from our trip there a few weeks ago. I love Springfield. It’s definitely a small town, and to be honest, I probably wouldn’t have heard of it if they hadn’t invited me on a press trip last year… but after our second weekend in the city, I can confirm that we’ve had two really great weekends there. It almost feels like home in a little way now. 🤣 What’s fun too is… this weekend felt like a totally different trip than our weekend there last year! We went back to a few favorite places, but did a lot of new things, explored new areas, and stayed in a super fun treehouse! I’ll be blogging all about our trip, but to kick it off, let’s start with our first night there! A stop to the Greetings from Springfield mural, which is brand new!

Bettinger Park

Onto my final post from Lakeside, Ohio! Phew! I’m way behind, haha, but going to try and catch up a bit this week. So during our last night in Lakeside, we had to stroll the dock one last time and we played a game of miniature golf at Bettinger Park! It’s only like $2 to play or something, and it’s such a fun thing to do! I feel like we rarely get out when we’re home to do something fun and simple like this, which is so silly. So I’m glad we did that; super fun. We also grabbed a last ice-cream cone at The Whistle Stop before heading back to our hotel for the night! Such a fun trip to Lakeside, Ohio. I’d love to go back again someday! Thank you to Lakeside for bringing me there, and for the experience and memories! I’ll always love this weekend and this little town!

Ohio's Most Beautiful Mile

On our second night in Lakeside Ohio, we decided to stroll along “Ohio’s Most Beautiful Mile” and grab dinner at Lago — two very recommended things to do in this adorable town! Since we had rented a golf cart for the day, we had a little time before we needed to return it. So we drove around town for a bit, enjoying the sights, and stopped to a little turnout so we could walk down this path along Lake Erie. It’s so pretty for a stroll — I’m not surprised of its name! The flowers and landscaping were absolutely gorgeous!

Lakeside Dock

A few more posts from Lakeside Chautauqua coming at ya! This one is sort of a cop out… because it’s my outfit from the very first night, but with a cardigan layered over it. 🤣 But I just loved these photos on Lakeside Dock and felt they justified another blog post… so here I am! But yeah, this dock in Lakeside was one of our favorite places to hang out during our weekend there. It was just so pretty. The sunsets (both nights) were insane! We walked out here at least 3-4x during our trip. I’d definitely recommend a visit just to grab dinner and watch a sunset here. I loved it!
