Columbus Stay-cation
Over spring break, my parents made the drive from Oklahoma to Ohio to come see me for a few days! We spent a few days seeing the different sights in Columbus, and it was really great to have some time off from school to enjoy everything Columbus has to offer!
One of my favorite things that we did while my parents were in town was attend a Columbus Blue Jackets game. For anyone who doesn't know, the Blue Jackets are a NHL team that plays in Nationwide Arena in downtown Columbus. It was my first ever hockey game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the game (it doesn't hurt that the Blue Jackets beat Montreal 5-2)!
On our next day, we had lunch at the North Market, and then walked over to the convention center. We stopped and saw the statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then made our way to a really unique piece of public art.
This is a really fun place to get your picture taken with your friends and then laugh about the goofy results that come out. What's really cool is that once you get your picture taken, it goes into a database and is randomly displayed on the statue from then on so you can always have a little piece of you still in Columbus.
On our last day, we made the drive across town to Easton Town Center. Easton is a really cool outdoor shopping complex and provides a nice outdoor atmosphere.
All in all, it was a great couple of days. It was nice to be a tourist in my own city and to remember all the fun stuff there is to do in Columbus!
