Last weekend we visited friends in Grandville , Ohio for our three year anniversary. We stayed at the Buxton Inn, supposedly haunted by human and feline spirits from beyond. Believe it or not, just before midnight, we did have an encounter with a pure white cat (with red eyes) who allowed me to pet it before it disappearing back into the bushes. Hmmm. The courtyards of the Inn provide an atmosphere more like New Orleans than Ohio . It was a very nice weekend of relaxed conversation, good food (Jack can cook!), and running on the local bike path. This is such a beautiful town that I recommend you immediately toggle into another brower window and start making your reservations to visit the new England styled village. It is also the home to Dennison University , wonderful shops, and is under an hour to Columbus and the Easton Town Center …if you’re so inclined to go shopping.
