Apparently there are dinosaur caves at Pismo Beach, CA, but it’s not what you think — unless you are thinking of a giant cement dinosaur that you could walk inside to enter some cliff-side caves via said dinosaur’s belly. If that is the case then it is what you think. Or it was.

It would seem that summer has finally arrived in Ohio and while temperatures in the mid to upper 80′s and low 90′s might seem insignificant to the majority of people in America, it’s the humidity that’s bothering us. We’re Ohioans, we don’t do humidity! Besides, it frizzes my hair. The most logical alternative is to stay indoors in very close proximity to an air-conditioner and a well stocked refrigerator.
I’m not logical. (I blame the kids–they incapacitate the area of my brain responsible for rational thought.)
Sufficient Cause for Insanity
Kids thrive on adventure, activity, intrigue. I thrive on cool temperatures. I found both at the Olentangy Indian Caverns Read More »
