Columbus Day

Had a great Columbus Day. Hung out with our inlaws in Bristow, VA. We call it "the ranch" because they actually have a backyard unlike those of us who are city dwellers. Really nice to escape to the burbs every once in a while!

Played a ton of corn hole. Have you ever played this game? Heard of this game? It's the simplest game in the world. You just toss bean bags and try to get them into a six-inch hole about thirty feet away. Man was it addictive. I actually have a sore calf muscle from playing so much!

We also fit in our annual trip to Cox Farm. If you live in the DC area it's a must-visit before Halloween! Gotta love the giant slide; kettle corn; and unlimited apple cider!

They recently filmed "Cornhole: The Movie" here in Cincinnati. I'm not kidding. I think the budget for the entire movie was $10,000. It is a great game, though. Very addictive!

I'm another southwesterdn Ohio reader (Dayton) and cornhole is huge here! It's a great game.

Thank-you for sharing your journey with us.

I've got a friend who has gone crazy over this game. He and his brothers are trying to mass produce a kit to sell because they want everyone to have a chance to play.

A friend of mine use to say that the unofficial motto of the Westside of Cincinnati is "Where we love our cornhole and Three-ways (see Skyline Chili - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_Chili)."
