Pink Elephant Antique Mall

We stopped at the Pink Elephant Antique Mall — a place where weird and wonderful collide!

We won’t talk about the pink elephant in the room… but we will talk about the three chipmunks we met (not sure if they were singing, but we didn’t care, we sang anyway “Alllllllllvvvvvviiiiiinnn!)

There were dinosaurs, aliens, and spaceships galore — one even crashed right into the building! We left a “ we are from Ohio sticker on the van. We followed the trail of huge feet to an extremely tall woman who tried to shake Janet’s hand… but Janet just couldn’t reach.

Highlight of the stop? Janet finally hugged the iconic Sinclair dinosaur — check that one off the bucket list!

Slug Bug Rebels At the Ranch

Slug Bug Rebels at the Ranch We made a rebellious little detour at the  Slug Bug Ranch —a place where you're  actually encouraged  to spray paint on the cars without getting in trouble. Naturally, we took full advantage of the opportunity to unleash our inner outlaws and tagged a couple of slug bugs with our roaming relics flair. Shockingly, Janet didn’t even hit me for not calling “slug bug” first—clearly, we were off our game. Don’t worry, we made up for it later.  Slug bug! While we were mid-spray, we ran into the sweetest little family with an even sweeter little girl. And yes, you guessed it—we had to  corrupt  her. In the best way possible, of course. We handed her a can of spray paint and officially inducted her into the  tiny rebel hall of fame . It was only right! We left our roaming relics mark behind and walked away with paint on our fingers and grins on our faces. Being rebels is fun… even if we never really were. (But now we can say we wer...
