Minor problem averted...
We had a small crisis arrise this week as Heather's ex let us know that he was unable to get the time off to allow the boys to come and visit the weekend before X-mas. Which in turn meant that there was no way to head to Cincinnati since he was coming up to Columbus to visit them here. After some deep contemplation we said "Fuck It" we are still going to Cincinnati and having a weekend to ourselves. We have already begun the planning phase and have agreed that the expense is justified now, as our holiday presents to each other. We are looking at different things to do, to eat (the room has a full kitchen), etc.
