We had a quick (but fun) visit with Dan in Columbus.
Mike, Jenn and Caleb were going to meet Bob, Jean and us there, but Caleb became ill enroute, and they had to turn back. All is well with Caleb now — maybe too much breakfast or motion sickness?
Dan led us on a whirlwind tour — OSU / Katzinger’s Deli for bread / Yau’s for a light lunch / the Franklin Park Conservatory / Buca di Beppo’s for dinner / Kroger’s for a few staples and we were on the way home.
As you can see by the pictures, the conservatory was the main attraction. It was incredible. There were hundreds of orchids, a tropical rain forest exhibit, a desert exhibit, a pacific isle exhibit and the Palm Room. Throughout there were impressive pieces of Dale Chihuly art glass. A really nice escape from the winter weather and the unplowed, snow-clogged, Columbus streets.

Great photos and some amazing flowers! We were all disappointed by having to turn back, but Caleb is doing well now. Jenn is still depressed about missing out on a reuben at the deli, though.
