Teddy and I, along with my friend Heather, were finishing our long weekend in Butler County, Ohio. We had discovered plenty of wheelchair accessible activities while more than satisfying my sweet tooth.
We checked out of the Marriott Cincinnati North. It had been an ideal base for all the places we went around the county.

The Donut Trail is a popular part of Butler County. We had
managed to stop at about a half dozen of the shops. On our last morning, it was
Jupiter Coffee & Donuts in Fairfield. This place has been mentioned in USAToday10Best.
They are known for their Red Storm donut. It is raspberry-filled and has cream
cheese frosting, with a swirl of red raspberry on top.
As much as I am a Buckeye donut fan, this one had me on the first bite. It was delicious. We had some coffee and they insisted we leave with a box of donuts.

Our next stop was a place I had been curious about for
years. Jungle Jim’s International Market turned out to be nothing like I
expected it to be. I thought it would be something similar to Sam’s Club or Costco,
but that couldn’t be further from the truth. I didn’t see big box items at
Jungle Jim’s, but they had just about everything else you could think of.
The first thing to surprise me at Jungle Jim’s was the
number of departments and businesses they have. They have a Graeter’s Ice Cream
Shop and a Starbucks, and their own radio station, WJJI. They also have their
own cooking school.

While many superstores tend to appeal to families, this one had
lots to bring in adults. The liquor store could only be described as tremendous.
It includes a bar with frozen cocktails and wine tastings—they have the biggest
selection of wine I have ever seen in one place.
When we were there, they were sampling THC drinks. This was across from something else I didn’t expect a cigar shop.
Before we left, we checked out the most unusual bathroom entrance anywhere. It looks like a port a potty. Once you open the door, you’ll see it is huge and very wheelchair accessible. We then stopped at the deli department. It was filled with sandwiches and fresh salads, the latter of which we purchased as we needed something healthy after our previous stop and before our next one.
We left Jungle Jim’s and started the drive home but first
made a stop back in West Chester to The Cone. This ice cream shop is small on
the inside, with enough offerings to make it extremely hard to decide what to
get. They also had seating outside and rides for young kids.
Heather and I went with the state’s popular combo, Peanut
Butter Hot Fudge Sundaes. Teddy enjoyed his vanilla pup cup with a small bone
on top. It was a perfect Sunday ending for our accessible Butler County adventure.
I was hosted on this trip by Butler County, but opinions are my own.
