Schools out Schools out ..... Well i'm not entirely sure I Like being called a monkey but the weekend came and went with Jeni and I enjoying the Queens city. On Friday I enjoyed spending the morning with a group of Jesus followers, and praying for our friends and "family" in Afghanistan, it was a rather uncommon Friday morning because I didnt have to rush away and do school work. So I took the opportunity to help around the mission department, as they were moving boxes and cleaning out one of their work areas. Then after a small lunch I enjoyed detailing my car, I cleaned from top to bottom, carpet, to taking toothpicks to the air vents/ the car was clean for the road trip.

Jeni and I left for Cincinnati OH, around 4:00 on Friday. We check into the Millennium Hotel in Down Town Cincinnati. A great 4 Star hotel. Walked about the city and had some great quality time talking. (Something that had been lacking due to the heavy school schedule.) We enjoyed a great dinner @ Pompilios - a fine Italian restaurant.

Saturday morning we drove to Newport KY which is 2 minutes outside of downtown, and visited the Cincinnati aquarium. This was Jeni's first visit to an aquarium and I think she might have been a Marine biologist if she had visited a few years sooner. We enjoyed walking through the different displays, and reading about the different details of fish and sharks. (the pictures of us with the birds came form the aquarium) Lunch was from the Pacific Moon a great Chinese restaurant with the traditional dishes, served by a Chinese cook. I gave them an A+ on the food and service.



We couldnt wait any longer - so Saturday Night- we watched Spider-man 3 one of the best yet, 3 villains, and some great plot development. It is a must see if you enjoy marvel films. Dinner was in a great little Pub there in the Mall complex, and then off to enjoy our great room that evening.

Just when you think nothing could top such a great Saturday - then Sunday comes along - It was not only mothers day - which is always a good day, but also the opportunity to visit the Cincinnati Museum center at Union Terminal. This was a great display of Exhibits, the Cincinnati History museum, had scale models of the city as it progressed through out the life of the city, and then many different displays of the tool and work that was done from the city during the world wars. Although the best part of the Museum experience had to be the Titanic Artifact Exhibition. It was a display of real objects and stories from the great ship of the White Star line. They take you back to April 14th 1912, with the stories and even the Captain walking around talking in first person of the facts and information about his ship crew and passengers.
