Rest in peace to the amazing Dolly Parton. We will always love you! 🦋

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭

What happens when you combine the world’s most famous travel stop, Ohio’s newest state park, and an incredible vintage toy store? You get an EPIC Ohio road trip!

Join me as I hit the road for a day of adventure across the Buckeye State! Our first stop is Buc-ee’s in Huber Heights, where we’ll check out the massive store, famous snacks, unique merchandise, and see if it lives up to the hype. Next, we’ll visit Great Council State Park, Ohio’s newest state park, to explore its beautiful visitor center and learn about the rich history of the Shawnee people and the legacy of Tecumseh. Finally, we’ll wrap up the adventure at Route 68 Vintage Toys & Collectibles, a hidden gem packed with nostalgic toys, action figures, collectibles, and pop culture treasures.

Whether you’re a fan of road trips, travel, Ohio attractions, history, or vintage collectibles, this adventure has something for everyone!
