Northern Ohio's Daffodil Trail







Boxing Buddies Trexx (Ohio), Blue Bunny (Hong Kong) and Bumbles (London) enjoy a little letterboxing on a warm spring morning in Ohio on the Daffodil Trail.


The first picture is Laney Bug holding Trexx the Turtle with her cousin, the youngest of Family Go Braugh holding Blue Bunny and Bumbles.



Trexx loved showing all the girls the beautiful yellow blooms. They all had their favorites. Trexx loved the fuzzy little yellow fluffy ones (shown below) that looked like new born chicks. Hard to believe that those are Daffodils too!

Trexx visits with Blue Bunny and Bumbles in California


Here Trexx languishes poolside with Celery the Frog, Blue Bunny and Bumbles. This is a beautiful spot (Travel'n Turtle & Ukusa's parents home) to enjoy the valley view.




Sonoma, California is a beautiful place to visit even if you're an under-aged Boxing Buddy or Letterboxer. The vineyards are beautiful and have lots of neat hiking trails around them, so skipping the wine tasting is no problem!




Here is Laney Bug holding Boxing Buddies Blue Bunny and Bumbles. We were heading into the woods to find Mr. Piney, missing-in-action since last fall. He had fallen from his perch, but was easily found!

Trexx hits the Sonoma Wineries

Trexx sits near one of Ukusa's Wineries series boxes with letterboxer Laney Bug who's also holding Celery the Frog (light green near her chin) from Ohio too; Blue Bunny, behind Trexx's hat, and Bumbles, in her hand. This is at Bartholomew Family Winery, a beautiful spot right near hiking trails to other nifty boxes.

The Northern California hillsides were still green and all the flowers were in bloom. The grape vines were all covered in little leaves, embracing the warm, spring weather.

Next we visited Cline Cellars winery to find Candyland's Floral Frenzy series Rose letterbox. It's a beautiful stamp situated at a lovely vineyard. After the boxing buddies had a little wine we meandered through the gardens and enjoyed the flowers and the elaborate ponds with fountains.

Trexx visits the California Wine Country





Trexx has a great time with visiting boxing buddies, Blue Bunny from Hong Kong (visiting from The Wandering Bs "Little B")and Bumbles from London (visiting from Candyland).
Trexx took them all over the place. First they went to Train Town to ride the trains. What boxing buddy does not like good old fashion trains!

Boxing Buddy Summit Meeting



Boxing Buddies from three continents united to discuss buddy needs. Trexx from Ohio (USA) was thrilled to meet Blue Bunny from Hong Kong (China) and introduce her to Bumbles from London (England) and Celery the Frog from Ohio (USA).

Bumbles insisted that they start the meeting with Tea, a very important ceremony in itself for England and China. Blue Bunny felt right at place with her new friends.




After a group photo the four sat down and exchanged stamps and discussed letterboxing strategies. They decided that Ohio was still too damp for letterboxing so they'd head to California for a couple weeks. Stay tuned to catch their adventures in California.
