So, we have great friends. This past weekend our friends Hez & Rachel watched our three boys. What makes it even cooler is that they have 4 boys themselves – so – they had a total of 7 boys ages 5 & under the in the house from Friday dinner until Sunday after lunch. Crazy!
Anyway – Jenny & I had a fun #nokidsweekend date. Yay!
Friday night, we went to Vietnam Kitchen – a great asian restaurant in town. We got our Pho phix and that was awesome.
After dinner, we went to the "Falls of the Ohio" State Park just across the river in Indiana. I had never been and it was really neat to walk along the fossil beds and watch the river and sunset and such.
Next was dessert at this little "side of the road" Ice Cream Joint called Polly's Freeze
We finished the night at Incredible Dave's playing some games and listening to a Jimmy Buffet cover band sing some songs we know by heart! 🙂
Saturday morning we woke up early and headed toward Cincinnati. We went on a 3 hour zipline tour at Ozone Zipline Adventure. It was AWESOME! I have to say, we looked good in our gear 🙂
Jenny was a natural
We made her walk (run) the plank too
I wasn't too shabby – once I figured out how to turn properly
Anyway, we did that and headed downtown Cincy for a yummy dinner at Nada – a Mexican / Fusion thingermaplace. We got the Taco plate – Mahi Mahi, Shrimp & Barbacoa.
After dinner, we walked around Cincy for a while, bridges, downtown, the "Taste of Cincinnati" was going on so it was crazy loud and busy. There was also a Reds game that night. So, sidewalks were jammed.
We left Cincy and headed home – and of course – had to stop at a Casino to win big bucks. Only we didn't win. At least it was fun.
Sunday morning, we slept in (yay!) and headed to Wild Eggs for brunch. We had never been, and I have to give it 23072309234 thumbs up. Very awesome. I had a creole shrimp omelet and it was incredible. How can you not like a side of grits with cheese & bacon? Really?
Anyway, then it was time to get the kids & then for me to head to the airport to head to Oklahoma for a few days.
It was a GREAT weekend and I wish I had more "couple time" with Jenny. Who wants to watch the kids next time? Hmm?
I will gladly watch the boys next time. Maybe you could find something fun to do up in Chicago. I’ll be especially glad to watch those great little guys if it means I’ll get more posts like this and less posts like that (http://www.darylhunter.me/churchit/2010/05/exchange-2010-offline-address-book-oab-issue-resolved.html) or that (http://www.darylhunter.me/churchit/2010/05/dnssec-cisco-asa-windows-server-dns-changes.html) or that (http://www.darylhunter.me/churchit/2010/04/lctv-it-skunk-works-1-cisco-cucm-exchange-2010-um-part-3.html) or…
Well, you get the point. 🙂 We love you guys, and I’m totally not joking about watching the boys. They can come here or we can come there. Anytime!
