I last left you at dinner....after dinner of course we headed back to the hotel to hop on our computers and see what/who we had missed. The next morning we packed our things and decided to head to breakfast.
There was this adorable restaurant called First Watch - best pancakes in the world! Taylor and I decided this was a trip to do things we haven't really ever done before so we ordered a TON of food just so we could try it....after all how often are we really going to be in Cincinnati? As you can see from the picture above we really had a lot of food. Our favorite was a pancake with bananas and granola baked right in! Yum Yum! We asked our waiter what we should do that day since it was a home game and we didn't have tickets. He said not to miss Newport on the Levey. So....where's that you ask????
That's right Kentucky! How in the world did we end up here!?!? Another state neither one of us had been to! Whoa...my sis in law has kinfolk that live here! How funny! We didn't realize we were in Kentucky until the picture of the sign above! We had so much fun there! It reminded Taylor and I a lot of home. In the Portland area we can cross a bridge and then be in Vancouver Washington! Here you go from Kentucky to Ohio, hopefully you already figured that out! ;) 
Yep, all the way from Oregon we can still be "ducks"! Aren't we cute???? I think I should get my hair a little more like Taylors! So we rode these things call, "Ride the Ducks". Is it a car or a boat? You guessed it, it's both! We rode from the Kentucky side to the Ohio side and headed straight for the water quacking all the way! We went on a little tour of both cities at once with our tour guides pointing out many fascinating things about both sides! We could see the thousands of people sitting watching the Bangles game (they lost by the way) as well as all the other many beautiful things from a boats view.
We headed back to the aquarium after the duck ride to finish our tour of the water life that we don't see in Oregon...yeah right! I even got to pet a shark! They said "start from behind the eyes and go to the tail" - wonder why that is, neither one of us got bit thank heavens but it did make me a little nervous.
We headed across the street for some ice cream then drove back to Bloomington, IN. We aren't the best with directions and map reading (both of us) although I could blame it on Taylor who was supposed to be my navigator but I was the one driving! Funny how you can't seem to get your sense of direction when you don't know where the ocean is!
We had a great trip spending time together and laughing and just relaxing! We both needed it I think! She comes home this weekend for a quick visit! I can hardly wait! Tons of stuff going on at the house and I sure hope she likes it.
