Columbus To Do List Part One

by

I picked the Columbus to do list called “Downtown”. I am most looking forward to eating at the place called Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace. I am excited to eat here because I love to eat common simple foods that have been jazzed up. I have a hot dog place like this at my hometown where they put twits on the hot dogs and it is really good, so I am expecting Columbus’ version to be even better. I am also looking forward to just being able to walk around downtown Columbus. It is a very beautiful place and it always makes me happy to be there. So far I have been to COSI. I went with a group of my friends and It was really fun! It was exciting to be able to do all the interactive things that they have there and have a nice time with my friends. I really enjoyed the Water section because of the cool atmosphere. I also liked the Life section because It gave me the opportunity to play games and compete against my friends. There were lots of kids there, but it was a cool experience to go again as a young adult because I felt that I could appreciate some of the exhibits more. We also got the experience of riding ad navigating the COTA buses out of this trip. I would recommend going to COSI to a friend, and I would recommend going with a group because it is interesting to get everyone’s opinions on all the exhibits.
