For New Year's we headed out to Ohio and to visit our friends, the Kessels. They moved to Columbus over the summer, and we haven't seen them since they left.
Annie continues to be a pretty resilent traveller. The original plan was we were to fly out of Logan New Year's eve on a 3 o'clock flight, arrive in Columbus at 5 and start cooking a big meal at 6. Only it started snowing pretty heavily in Boston starting around noon, which caused the plane we were supposed to take to Columbus to be unable to land, and it was diverted to Hartford, yada yada yada. Once it landed in Hartford they had to refuel, get cleared for takeoff, land in Boston, and repeat the process before we could takeoff... Finally our plane left at about 6:30pm. Somehow Annie was able to keep it together the whole time in the airport. She made lots of friends in the terminal, and luckily we were in terminal A and there's a great kids play area so she spent a lot of time in there as well.
We were very grateful to finally make it into Columbus and we had a great time! Annie and Mason picked up where they left off and had so much fun playing together! I think their favorite activity was to ride around together in the wagon. They would have stayed in there for hours if only someone would have kept pulling them around, and around, and around... Coincidentally enough, the whole time we were in Columbus it snowed there too! It was a nice light snow that made everything pretty pleasant. We took Annie for a long walk on the golf course and pulled her behind in a sled. She loved that. I have some video that I'll try to add later.
Of course we ate out a bunch... and we had some great meals! For dinner we had fondue, at the Melting Pot. First you have a cheese course, then a meat course in either broth or oil (we picked broth) and then you have the chocolate course... which was phenomenal. There's also some pretty good Italian restaurants in Columbus and this great bistro, Bon Vie. I think the bistro was my favorite, although the Italian place was pretty sweet too. We got to spend a total of about 5 days in Ohio, and it was such a great time and so much fun to be able to see the Kessels for so long. It felt just like they still lived down the street from us in Charlestown!
