What is there for your Spouse to do in Wheeling?

[samurainoir]

It appears some travel to Wheeling with their wives. What is there for them to do in town while you are at Mego Meet all day? Galleries/Museums? Scenic Walks?

How is the local hiking/biking/inline skating for an active spouse?

Does anyone bring their dog? It appears the suggested hotel allows pets.

Sit in the hotel room and wait for Sunday morning.

Actually after 3 Meets I still only know about 5 places in Wheeling. Not even sure if there is another store other than Family Dollar close to there. There has to be something.

Get her to Center Market, there's a lot of fun shops in downtown Wheeling to check out.

also, there's the Highlands, lots of fun shopping there too!

Highlands is exit 10, the Cabela Drive exit.

There is indeed. Wouldn't be a Mego Meet without a visit to the local Wendy's. Not for the food, just for the people watching aspect. It's like going to the zoo, and someone left the monkey cage door open.

*sigh* there is the other obstacle. Is there Vegan dining in Wheeling?

I saw in a pamphlet last year there's a casino there. Let 'em got hit the slots.

I grew up in Wheeling, so I know a few of the hot spots . . . and I use the term "hot" loosely. Like mentioned above, there are The Highlands and the Wheeling Downs Race Track and Casino. That's actually a pretty fun option if she likes to gamble at all. She could make a day of it watching the dogs run and playing the casino games. They also have a killer seafood buffet on Fridays. Another good option may be the Oglebay Park Resort area. It's a very nice location with many walking paths, fishing, golfing, and the Good Zoo & Benedum Planetarium. All of these locations are within 20 minutes of the Train Museum.

Indeed, the Wheeling Island Casino isn't far from the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum.

how did I forget about the casino?

I think the Park Resort is our winner. Jogging paths for her and the dog, and a zoo and planetarium are right up her alley. I'm sure finding Vegan options at the Highlands will be okay with so many chain type places to eat, there will probably be a Veggie burger and salad on the menu somewhere.

Took my wife with me the first mego meet and she had a great time. It was wall to wall megos for her a few days. I knew she didnt mind going but thought she was pretty bored. I was wrong. The lectures they gave on mego were really interesting and gave her a glimpse of why I collect mego. We found ourselves waiting for the next session to learn a little more that I didnt know about the company mego I collected figures from. She now takes a better interest in my collection and asks a whole lot of questions. Brought us closer together as she now gets that part of me that makes me collect with a better respect.
