My Cincinnati Trip Recap and Update
We had a great time on our trip to Cincinnati but it went by way to fast. Sandy enjoyed it which I am so thankful for and he said he was happy to share these childhood memories with me. See this is why I love him. Ok here is what I've been posting to everyone about our trip so it's only fitting that I post it here.
Thursday May 8th- We got going early after getting gas and breakfast at Dunkin Donuts cause I had a few coupons. The drive down wasn't that bad but it said it was suppose to rain most of the way but it didn't. It only rained once we got to Columbus so that was nice. Then we checked in and headed to our room. They upgraded us to a king bed for free since the room we got was a little small and Sandy put down that we were on our anniversary trip. Then once we were all settled we headed out to dinner and we went to Sonic since they don't have them up here in NY lol. Then we headed to the Tri county mall and did some shopping. We also checked out Crazy city which is an indoor amusement park and we played mini golf and that was a lot of fun.
Friday May 9th- We got up to have breakfast at the hotel since it was free and then we headed out to do some more shopping down the road at deerfield park. Yes we did alot of shopping but we had to kill some time before our concert that was at 8pm lol. So once we were done shopping we headed back to rest and hop in the pool for a bit. Then we went out to dinner before the concert. It was a nice dinner and Sandy let me get a good drink which had alot of alcohol in it but at least I knew I was getting my moneys worth lol. Then on our way to the city we got stuck in traffic because there was an accident 3 exits before ours! LOL good thing we left early. Well we got to the concert on time and it was amazing. Our seat were great even for being up in the Gallery. The concert was the music of Disney and there were two high schools there singing and I believe there were college students dancing. They also had a children's choir to sing the Mickey Mouse march and it's a small world. The whole thing made me tear up but it was worth it. I'm so glad we pick this week to go.
Saturday May 10th- We went to Kings island for the whole day and it was a beautiful sunny day. That was great because I haven't been there since I was 11 years old and afraid to ride roller coasters. So I was so excited to go and share this experience with my husband. We went on a bunch of roller coasters and some of the other rides as well. We got lots of pictures up in the tower and even one of the two of us which is a tradition. But can I just say how horrible the prices were there for food. We paid $20 for 2 drinks and 4 pieces of pizza! Ick! I also decided to play some games before we went home and I played the guess your age/weight/birthday date and I had him guess my age. Well I won but ya know what he thought? He thought I was 15!! I'm glad I look young but I didn't think I looked that young lol. So I got a teddy bear so I didn't come home empty handed. LOL
Sunday May 11th- It was icky rainy out but we decided to go to the Zoo anyway. It wasn't too bad when we first got there but about an hour later it started to really rain so we looked at alot of the indoor exhibits. But I was excited because we were able to see all the kittys lol. I took lots of pictures so you'll get to see all of them. It was also Zoo baby time and we got to see alot of babies which was great. Then we decided to drive into the city and get some skyline chili since I've never had any before and I really liked it. The whole skyline chili thing down in Cincinnati is like the garbage plate thing here in Rochester lol. Then we headed back to the hotel to rest for a bit and jump in the pool. My feet were killing me so I wanted to relax in the hot tub. Then we decided to go to a movie. We went to see Speed Racer and I really liked it. I like the cheesiness they kept in the movie but the effects and the plot were really good.
Monday May 12th- This was our downtown Cincinnati day. We went to Eden park and got some pictures of the river and that was great. Then we headed to 3rd street to park the car and walk around downtown. I went to find The Berry company since they do the Cincinnati yellow pages and I got a picture in front of the suite sign lol. I think the secretary looked at me funny lol. We walked to Joe Brown Stadium to go to the Bengals pro shop so I could get a pull over sweatshirt and I was able to get a T-shirt for my mother. Then we walked to Kentucky to Newport on the Levee so we could kill time before the baseball game. Time didn't pass fast enough lol. Then we were able to get into the ball park around 5:30 so we got to hang around the stadium till 7:10 when the game started. It was a great game which was fun since I've never been to a major league baseball game. It started out rough but the Reds ended up winning 8-7 it was great. Then we headed back to the hotel to pack.
Tuesday May 13th- It was a driving home day but before we did we got some white castle burgers to bring home for my mother and brother in law. They love those things lol. The drive home was beautiful which is good cause I was the one driving. We got home after stopping in Buffalo to get food.
Now it's baby making time! And guess what? I ended up getting my period today, which is really weird because I shouldn't be getting it till the 18th but that's ok it's the 15th and that was around the normal time I was getting it. And it might be baby making time but it's still weight loss time and I'm trying to get back in the habit. I know I've gained some weight back which sucks but I'm not going to let it discourage me. A friend of mine on ivillage started a mini challenge thing called the 21 no binge eating challenge. Basically it takes 21 days to make or break a habit so each day we are going to report in on how we are doing. If we break our cycle we have to start over and today I started C1D1 or Cycle 1 Day 1. I think I did pretty good and I did binge eat at all. I held my ground and I feel so good about it. Now all I need to do is add in some more water, exercise, and start journaling again. I don't know when I want to weigh myself but I will have to do it soon. I need to know how much I have gained lol. So wish me luck with that. Ok time to get going I want to work on some of my crafty stuff :-) Ok ttyl!
