To Cincinnati for a night. The Occasion? A dear friend I hadn’t seen in over 4 years! We go back to our Ricks College Women Choir days! It was her bday, and was visiting family. So we drove down to Cincy, it was about 1 1/2 away so we met for breakfast on Saturday. It was cool b/c we hadn’t met each other’s husbands. We said goodbye to them and were off to explore. I have to be honest, I was kinda dissapointed in the tourist friendly-ness of downtown. Probably b/c we just used our gps and didn’t plan anything out (including having cash for anything) it was our own fault we didn’t get to explore as much as we wanted to.

The museums that were open, the parking garage was cash ONLY and there were no ATMS in sight and there was literally no street parking! We drove around for a while, and decided we were going to go to the aquarium instead. Nope! It was $8 to park, then $10 a piece for admission. I understand that when you travel, stuff costs $, I’m just used to Cleveland a lot of their stuff is free. Oh well. We got to spend like 3 hours at Ikea and we went to this huge flea market called Cesears Creek. It got a A+++ in people watching and lots of interesting stuff! We stayed over night for $45 at a Holiday Inn, thank you priceline! It was a fun ’staycation’ many more of those to come!
