July 20th (Day 3:PMG Convention/North Market for Lunch/German Village-Book Loft/Topiary Park/Croughnuts/Dance/Graeter's Ice Cream)

We got here again around 9:15 and the girls went to playroom again.
But today we are going to sneak out earlier for lunch and exploring around Columbus.

This guy was amazing. He used to be a Special Needs Teacher but then started interviewing people with special needs and has made a career out of it! He was an amazing speaker and person!
Built this cool structure and a balloon person came!
Family picture!
Let's head to North Market for lunch. It's a cool indoor warehouse type place with lots of different food places.


Look how cool this place was.
Guy has been here for the dumplings.


Want to try this ice cream place too. They are in target stores also.

Nick and I settled on a Lobster Roll for Nick and I to share.
Adelyn got fresh pasta with alfredo mushroom sauce.

Ella got dumplings.
Lobster Roll with fries.
Then Nick and I got hot chicken wings with fries. They were delicious.
Time to go to the German Village.
Wow look at this Brick Sidewalks!



Came here for the book store, for Adelyn.


Adelyn and I walking to the back to the book store with 32 Rooms!! Wow.




Nick and Ella made it in also.
There are SOO many books and SOOO many people!

Love all these old buildings.


My parents even have a street!


Look how cute this dog was!
Next stop Topiary Park.
The park is next to this amazing looking old private school that looks like it is out of Vampire Diaries!


I thought there would be more trees, so a little bit of a let down.





This school is so cool looking.
We cruised by Ohio State since it's right in the heart of the city about 10 mins from our place.
Football stadium.

Giant bridge.
Where they play basketball at.
Nick turned around to go get more croughnuts!! Ha.
We headed back to Airbnb to take showers and get ready for the dinner and dance at the hotel.

All dressed up, family pic.
The food wasn't very good again. 
Time to dance.

Dancing with Mary and her mom Christine, a new friend.





What a great Daddy!


Nice meeting with this lady, Christine. She was very sweet and from Kentucky, loved her accent. 
Hope we meet again!
Last stop of the night is going to get some more ice cream! They have so many places to try around here.
Another 100 year old ice cream place! And it is in the cutest little suburb of Columbus! 

Well Ella had another fit at the ice cream place!
I guess we shouldn't get anymore ice cream with her, ugh! Time to head back to get some sleep.
Look how cute this street is!
Headed back and went to bed. Tomorrow we leave to head to Santa Claus, Indiana!!
