After yesterday’s painfully long entertaining chapter book post I hope you’ve all given serious consideration to a trip to Ohio and decided to come spend a few days with us in Cincinnati. In addition to everything we showed my parents (if you missed it scroll down for a full recap!) there’s still the Newport Aquarium, Flower Conservatory, Kings Island Roller Coaster theme park (Cedar Point’s competitor), Graeter’s ice cream, a plethora of fantastic ethnic restaurants, the Cincy Ballet, Cincy Orchestra, the art museum, museum of history and science, Fountain Square, shows at UC, Coney Island, the zoo, biking trails, Mt. Adams shopping and wine tastings, and the horse races in nearby Kentucky. Oh, and there’s us – a great little house with two weirdos, a squirrel and a coyote (who are surprisingly not the two weirdos), a wii, a firepit, enough Door County wine for the next year, and a cozy guest room. So all of you who haven’t come to visit yet (um, that’s pretty much everyone) and are looking for a very inexpensive vacation, a tour of a great city you’ve probably never given a second thought to, and good friends to chum around with – reserve your airline tickets for sometime next year. We’d love to have you!
Today I will be stationed at the Ohio Licensing Agency for a good portion of the day getting my vehicle inspected, taking an Ohio rules of the road knowledge test, converting my title from Texas to Ohio, renewing my registration, getting Ohio license plates, and getting a new driver’s license with my updated name and address. I am changing everything there is to change all at the same time – with any luck. I can see this being a long and frustrating process. So in lieu of another novel (and in hopes that you’ll love our house and be further persuaded to come up for a long weekend), today I give you a picture tour of our home. Enjoy!
