Today is opening day at the world’s greatest amusement park, Cedar Point, in Sandusky, OH. And I am here to soak up all the fun! I was not allowed on the new ride, Top Thrill 2, which was for the best. That ride is intense!

I visited Boston, MA in 2012 and found myself in Boston Public Garden. Opened in 1837, it was the first public botanical garden in America. The garden was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (as part of the Emerald Necklace), the famous landscape architect who also designed Central Park in New York

This is Dobbins Lookout just south of Phoenix, Arizona where I visited a couple months ago. There is a spectacular view of the city from up here but the drive was a little hairy with all the tight turns.

The Vietnam Memorial is behind me, from my visit to Washington D.C. in 2002. This particular memorial is beautiful and devastatingly sad.

Open since 1933, Sloppy Joe's bar in Key West, Florida is famous as the favorite watering hole of Ernest Hemingway during his time on the island. I visited last fall and I can see why it is still popular to this day.

Upon a recommendation from someone, I was encouraged to visit the Valley of Fire state park outside Las Vegas, Nevada in 2011 - it sure did not disappoint! This was at the visitors center. The real action was out among the red rocks. But hey, grab some shade where you can! That desert sun is brutal!

Tonight we're going back to the early days of 2001 from my first visit to Universal Studios in Orlando. By this time I had been traveling for about 2 years. This was my first visit of many to the weird place they call Florida.

Westminster Abbey dates back to 1060 in the heart of London. Famous for being the coronation church for the British Monarch since 1066 as well as numerous royal weddings (most recently William & Kate in 2011). Over 3,300 people have also been buried or commemorated here. To sum up, it's a big place!

Today you will find me in sunny Aruba during my visit there in 2005. Any place that has palm trees is all right with me!

You may be a football fan, you may not be, but as a Michigan cow, I am proud that Detroit is hosting the NFL draft starting tonight. This is a big deal, with hundreds of thousands of fans descending on the city. Here's my photo of the Detroit skyline, as seen from Belle Isle in the Detroit River.

This is the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Ford is the only president from the state of Michigan. I was here last fall.

I found myself on the streets of Cozumel, Mexico for the first, but certainly not the last, time in 2003. Forgive the grainy quality of the photo but digital camera technology back then wasn't quite up to the standards of today. I'm at the bottom of the photo, lost in the shadows.

Happy Earth Day everyone! This planet is a beautiful place and we should keep it that way. In 2021 I visited Monument Valley in the northernmost part of Arizona. It was desolate and amazingly beautiful. There was a sign placed by the Native Americans that said "Respect Mother Earth." I hope we do.

This is a picturesque side street in Luneburg, Germany that I happened upon in 2019. Just a reminder to all the new Spouters - I post one unique adventure every day. I've been going strong since Feb 10, 2023 - 436 days in a row without a repeat picture! Please LIKE & SHARE so others can find me too!

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with delicious frozen concoctions but here we are. This was outside the Sedona, Arizona location in 2021.

This is in the lakeside town of Frankfort, Michigan during February of 2023. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Sure is beautiful in the summer though!
07:52 PM - Apr 12, 2024
Yesterday I shared with you a photo from Frankfort, Michigan from February of last year. How's about one now from July? Personally, I'm more of a summer (stuffed) cow. Winter isn't really my thing! But Frankfort is a quaint little town right on Lake Michigan and it has something to offer all year!

I visited the Mall of America near Minneapolis, MN in 2017. Opened in 1992, it is the largest mall in America.

Gearing up to go hiking on my trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico on 2022. It's so sunny out here! Why don't they make hats in my size?

The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, IL currently has an exhibition on the technology of James Bond. This is the car used by Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights in 1987. I visited last month.

In 2015 I took a drive along the Pacific Coast Highway in Northern California and stopped to get my hooves wet.

This is another picture from my visit to London last November. I am in Kensington Gardens next to a stunning bronze sculpture by British sculptor Simon Gudgeon. The sculpture, named Serenity, is inspired by the Egyptian goddess of nature.

Downtown Hamburg, Germany from when I visited in 2019. This is a very scenic lake in the middle of the city.

When I visited Hollywood, California in 2000 I was able to see all the famous hand prints in concrete outside Grauman's Chinese Theater. This actress was a little famous, I think. But the larger question that must be asked is when am I going to be invited to cast my hooves and scratch my name?
08:42 PM - Apr 08, 2024
When I visited Diagon Alley at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida back in 2014, I came across this butterbeer wagon. Have you ever had butterbeer? It's so good, I recommend you never have any, or it may be all you think about for the next 10 years.

Happy Friday! Today's Spout is from Comerica Park in Detroit, home of my Tigers. This will be the final photo in my week of sharing adventures from various ballparks - I hope you have enjoyed. Maybe next year I'll visit YOUR favorite park. Or maybe you don't care about baseball. That's fine too!
