Picnic in the Parks

I learned a new acronym today. PICNIC. IT people think we (normal people... not IT people ) are PICNICs. I love picnics. Foget about work, it's a long weekend, those computer problems will be there on Tuesday....

Central Ohio in the summer means:

Picnic with the Pops

Schiller Park - Picnicing w/ Actors' Theatre

Ohio State Parks including nearby Alum Creek

Metro Parks

City Parks - Columbus

City Parks - Dublin

City Parks - Hilliard

City Parks - Gahanna

City Parks - Grove City

City Parks - New Albany

City Parks - Powell

City Parks - Upper Arlington

City Parks - Westerville

City Parks - Worthington

Liberty Township Parks

Orange Township Parks

Some communities websites say more about picnicing than others.

Worthington:

"Picnic tables are provided for family outings" in Indianola Park..... I am sure other Worthington parks have picnic tables too.

Dublin:

"Picnic areas are available on a first-come, first-served. Reservations are not accepted."

Info about 'PICNIC's' shared by Greg Cremia of Re/Max Ocean Realty on a real estate forum. I bet they have great places to picnic in the "outer banks" in North Carolina.

No mountains, no oceans but we have cows in Columbus.

P.S. I am working today... Old Worthington Open House bring your picnic...

and remember Worthington's Memorial Day Parade. 10 AM Monday. E. Dublin Granville and South on High Street.

Maureen,

I hope you sell the house today at your open house. From the photos it seems really nice. I especially like the master bedroom with the vaulted ceiling, skylight and the spacious master bathroom. The garage plus carport are nice, too. Your home prices are quite different (lower) from ours here in South Florida!

Leanne

P.S. - I love picnics, too! :-)

Thanks for the comment Leanne. Central Ohio is very affordable!
It is a fun house to hold open, it is in a historic district but the sellers have done some wonderful updating inside. I like telling people what part of the house is the original 1850's house and where / when the different additions were added to the house, what's been updated. It did not have central air until 2004 ...ductwork for heating and cooling to the second floor is a recent major improvement too. It was an estate when the sellers bought it. The son who was executor of the estate came through my first open house. The room that is now the master bath was his bedroom as a kid and he had to go through his sisters bedroom to get to his room. He was amazed by how much the present owners had done to the house. Thanks again for the comment.
