A New Week

We are back after our weekend in Cincinnati with Farnos and without kids! We had a great night at the Reds game where they won 4-0 and the game was followed by awesome fireworks that lasted for about 20 minutes. After the game, we went back to the hotel to the bar where we shared a few rounds of VERY expensive drinks with Angie and Wes. Some of us have very little tolerance and paid for the drinks pretty quickly! On Saturday, we walked to Newport, KY and found a little place called Mokka where we ate what might be the best breakfast we have ever had...it was excellent and very fairly priced.

During the day, we went and finished all of the paper work on the new camper we bought while Wes and Angie hung around at the Levee. We checked into and checked around the Bed and Breakfast that we were staying at. The B&B was pretty disappointing overall :(. The bedroom was very small and we ended up having to share a bathroom on the floor with someone else which made it feel more like we were guests in someone's house rather than staying at a motel/hotel.....oh well, I wanted to try something different and we can cross that off of our bucket list of things to do.

For dinner, we met Farno's at the Levee again and ate at Mitchell's Fish Market which was very good. It started to rain after dinner so we took advantage of a covered carriage. It was a really nice way to spend some of the night while it was raining....a romantic covered carrige, the patter of rain, and the clop of the horse's hoove were very relaxing...I would highly recommend it as a way to pass the evening.

Clif and I got some Graeter's Ice Cream and then spent the night at the B&B. Breakfast there was OK, but nothing fabulous.....

Then we headed home and met up with Clif and Jane and reclaimed our kids at an exit at Vandalia.....I think they were ready to get them out of the car.....I sure missed them, but not the constant bickering.....

Overall, we had a nice, long, and relaxing weekend. It is so nice to get away....the week is busy. Clif is in Indiana for 3 days, Chip has football camp M,T,W from 5-7 and Th, F from 3-5. It looks like it is going to be rainy too....good for the ground....not good for Jenny when she is stuck in the house!!!!
