A Very Happy Mother's Day...

Our adventure began with a hunt for a monument. My husband and I had heard tell of a unique roadside attraction in Dublin, Ohio. So with a click to a favorite roadside attraction website and another click to mapquest, we set off to share a bit of whimsy.

Our kiddos were unimpressed when we pulled into the Scioto Park on Riverside Drive. From our parking spot we could see a patch of river below, a grassy hill and just a hint of the sculpture. We invited our children to walk onto the head of Chief Leatherlips and we went below to take the first photo. Our kids thought they were simply standing on a stone viewing area.

Once their pictures were taken, we asked our oldest to trade places with us and take a snapshot of dear old mom and dad. When everyone trooped down the hill they were surprised by the face staring out of the slope.

Before we left, we headed down the hill and gazed at the Scioto River. There were ducks swimming, birds singing and swooping over the water and wildflowers near the path to the water. If you think this sounds like something you might enjoy sharing with a dear one, head over to http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/9791 and check out this adventure idea.

If you go, don't forget bread for the ducks, a picnic for the shelter house, some kids for the playground and of course, a camera to capture the moment.
