Ohio 2006
Home
We spent the week of Christmas in Ohio this year and had a great time.
The last few years we went at Thanksgiving (aka ThanksMas). Oddly, the
weather wasn't too terribly cold and there was no snow. But it was still
cold.

At the "Boneyard," a restaurant where Kim's sister Mickey and her husband Joe held a party for childhood friends. |

The house from the movie "A Christmas Story" has been refurbished and opened to the public. The next few pictures are from our visit there. |

"A Christmas Story" is Kim's favorite movie. I lean towards "It's a Wonderful Life" or National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" as holiday favorites. |

They play a game called "chuck-a-puck" between periods where you throw a puck on the ice and try to get closest to the center (only $1 per puck!) |
