Liberty came and visited from Sunday until Tuesday morning. We had so much fun! The only thing missing was our newly wed sister. I was sad not having Lydia around, but I'm always jealous of all the time they get to spend together, I thought it would be nice to invite Lib down so we can explore Cincinnati and hang by the pool.
We started out our epic two day hang out with some downtown fun with mexican food at NADA and fountain square, which included a pan handler cat calling us for half a block...while Scott was with us. Ahhhh, I love the city life.

After a a long afternoon of chilling on the couch and a massive CASTLE tv show marathon, we took a walk into Honeysuckle Woods and watched the sun go down over the licking river valley. To my excitement, I found out that Liberty had never had La Rosa's pizza, a born and raised, Cincinnati staple! So, to end the day, we ordered some La Rosa's and watched copious amounts of CASTLE.

On monday, we relaxed by the pool for the first part of the day, which was absolutely fantastic. We spent most of the time talking about our world travels. I love that she's 18 and we can talk about being in so many different parts of the world. I think she caught on to my wanderlust. It's funny, when I first went to Europe at 16, she was infuiated that dad wouldn't let her go on adventures....she was only 8! But now, 10 years later, she has been to Burkina Faso, Belguim and France! I'm hoping she can add Morocco next year. I'm such a proud sister.
We had lunch at my favorite Thai Restaurant, Siam Orchid. We meandered over to Schneider's Home Made Sweet Shop and bought some yummy candies, and even stopped at our Military Surplus store and bought ourselves some vintage Marine jackets! OORAH!

Our time went WAY too fast. We ended with some burgers on grill and at on the porch and finished out season 1 of Castle, Lib is a bit obsessed now! Hopefully Lib will get to come spend another weekend this year, so stay tuned for Liberty Takes Cincinnati: Part 2!!
Oh...and if you were wondering how the kits took to Liberty (because I KNOW you were...), they are FINALLY warming up to people, I'm so excited! Liberty even got to rub Remy's tummy!

Until next time...
