Well it’s been quite a day. We started it out in Oxford. Where we stayed the night after Kenny showing us all old haunts and former residences while in college. We ate pizza at Bruno’s and bought t-shirts at the bookstore, and ended the night out at BTOyogurt! We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in the middle of Oxford, which was a great location, until the bar fights broke out at 2am, then my kiddos got a lesson in inebriated undergrad vocabulary. Hopefully my eight year old isn’t scarred for life.
After a quick recovery, the next morning, we grabbed some grub at a a local restaurant…that no one can remember the name of. It has a purple awning. They had good oatmeal. Sorry I was suffering from hangover by association with the drunkards that kept me awake half the night.
The Creation Museum was one of our main destinations on this trip. It is a few miles south of Cincinnati in Petersburg, Kentucky. The kids enjoyed it. It stirred up a good theological conversation in the car. We continued to discussed all the questions over our BBQ at…..
The Montgomery Inn’s Boathouse location, on the Ohio River. Thanks Kim for the great foodie recommendations! If you are in the Cincinnati area, and you are a lover of BBQ then you MUST give the Montgomery Inn a try, it was fabulous!
Unfortunately this is what our trip home looked like. It was quite a drive, 7 long hours(normally it would take 5+hours) in the van with the kiddos. I have to say they were very good. But it got quite stinky in there by about the 5th hour. Very thankful to be home safe and sound. If this wasn’t enough, you can read all the gory detail on my travel blog, when I get around to posting over there.
Is that van in front of you fishtailing? Does not look like a fun 7 hour drive home.
First this is "outatfirst" and my real name is Jennifer. Second, I am glad that you made it home safe and sound, my sister lives in Toledo, OH, and said that the storm was terrible to drive in. We went to Ikea on Saturday and spent too much money there, but loved the store. I am glad you had a good time on your trip.
Glad you got home safely! Sounds like a great trip, except for the drive home.
Your family was right in front of us in line to see Ree! Isn't she great?!?

Oh wow I am a Cincinnatian! So cool to hear about your trip and all of the places you went that I know š Skyline is overrated. I get tired of it because we can have it here anytime. Graeters is delish. You can actually order some online if you are ever craving it… I am not sure where you live but if you ever want some Cincy food… go to http://cincyfavorites.com/ … you can get Skyline, Graeters, Montgomery Inn and more! And guess what?! My fiancee works at Montgomery Inn! His mom is the GM. I am so glad you liked it! I'm jealous about you seeing Clooney and Ryan Reynolds… I live here and haven't seen them yet lol!
Oh, and the Pioneer Woman was here?!?! How did I not know about this? How do you hear about these things? I would have LOVED to go to the book signing.
Those outlet malls are cool too š I thoroughly enjoyed reading this!
