We left last Thursday for Memphis to stay the night, then we got up Friday and made the last leg to Cincinnati. Leah did fantastic on the car ride, napping and playing and being an overall good sport about being in the car 9 hours each day. We stayed in Cincinnati Saturday and Sunday, then headed back Monday and Tuesday. Leah stayed in a hotel for the first time, and slept wonderfully every night. We were in the same room with her, which I worried a little about, but of course, she did great! I'm really beginning to realize what an awesomely easy-going child I have! She did not get that from me...
Here are some...well, a lot of pictures!
Where are we going Mom? What is this thing for?
Leah met Eric's dad's side of the family on Saturday for a barbeque lunch. All the guys gathered on the back deck, and all the women gathered in the living room to play with Leah!

Graeter's Ice Cream...better than Blue Bell! We braved the rain storm to run in and get our scoops, and we had to have our picture taken under the sign.
On Sunday, we went to Eric's mom's parents' house to spend the afternoon. We had another great lunch and spent some time outside enjoying the wonderful weather. The highs in Cincinnati while we were there were in the mid-80s. Aaahhh...

I'm glad y'all had a great trip! I especially love the picture of Leah reading in the car. She looks like she is really reading! But I bet she probably is..
