Bowling Green and a Grand Day!

When the fog rolls in, the world slows down to breathe.

Us? We decided it was a good time for an excursion to Bowling Green.

 

Bowling Green is a city in, and the county seat of, Wood County, Ohio, United States. The population was 30,808 at the 2020 census. Located 20 miles southwest of Toledo, it is part of the Toledo metropolitan area. Bowling Green is the home of Bowling Green State University.

First, to Simpson Garden Park, a welcoming space with themed areas, a Japanese garden, and a walking trail.

Then, for the main attraction, the free Black Swamp Arts Festival featuring blues, psychedelic art, and the usual kettle corn and lemonade-slush street food.

Shopping is my cardio.

Let's go!

Souvenirs and gifts galore were plentiful – baskets, home decor, ceramics, various handicrafts, beads, jewelry, and more.

Come time for snack. It will never break your heart.

Keep calm and eat on.

I’m into fitness. Hotdog in my mouth! Want some?

Back home, a delightful treat! What do you know? It’s our day. GRANDPARENTS’ DAY!

 Phones down, forks up. It’s dinner time.

It wasn’t a bad day at all.

In fact, it was a good day to have a GRAND DAY.

Hoping that yours was, too, filled with good thoughts, loving family, and happy moments!
