This weekend, the family came up Columbus for several reasons, there were many festivals going on. We started the morning at the Worthington Art Festival. We made it there last year and there was pretty much nothing new this year, but mom got her fix of kettle corn.

Afterwards, my folks went their own way for a couple of hours, and I was to meet them at the hotel, which I booked for them at this page, around 3pm. We went off to see the Creekside Jazz and Blues Festival, but while I was waiting for the elevator to my folks room, I met this guy who was playing at the festival later in the afternoon. He was from Toledo, and he told me he could pick me up some time and go out. I very successfully avoided giving him any contact information.

We went down to the festival and found a shady spot in order to enjoy the music, it was pretty hot outside. We did a bit of people watching and we saw a couple that had a parrot on each arm and a dog in a baby stroller.  After about 3 hours, we headed out of the festival to get some dinner, I took them to an Irish pub located in the Creekside Development. Dad got a serious burger and Mom got a salad, but we all orders the homemade chips. After dinner, we went back to the Jazz festival and listened to some more music. I didn’t see that guy I met in the elevator, must have missed him while we were having dinner.

We then headed to the Graeter’s Ice Cream located in Gahanna. They have the best ice cream and to prove it we all waddled out of the shop. I took my folks back to their hotel. After I dropped them off, I had to head back to the airport and pick up my brother and take him to my apartment. Too bad I couldn’t convince him to stay with mom and dad.
