Memorial Day Weekend

Over the long weekend Neal and I headed out to Cincinnati for my friend Kelly's wedding. The day of the wedding we really had no plans, so we found this park that was on the bluffs and overlooked the city. We walked around the park for a while and took some pictures.
 
Then we got some pizza for lunch then we went to the pool. After that we got ready for the wedding and headed to the Taft Museum where it was held. It was such a beautiful wedding.

Also while we were there the taste of Cincinnati was going on downtown so while we were there we walked around it for a little bit. And as with any new place we visit we have to find a local coffee shop to try. We were headed to one shop that ended up being closed for the holiday weekend and as we were headed to Starbucks we actually stumbled upon a pleasant surprise and found a coffee shop called Tazza Mia. I do have to say that they had really good coffee.

The day after the wedding Neal and I headed to St. Louis to spend the night and visit the Gateway Arch. That night we walked around the monument and took some cool pictures and also got our tickets to go to the top of the Arch. On Monday we headed to the top of the Arch. We took these little 5 seater cars to the top. It was such an amazing view.





We also got an unexpected surprise by seeing cars from the Gumball 3000 which is a race from New York to Los Angeles. These cars are not just any cars they are Bugatti Veyrons, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and a ton of other exotic cars. Since they had a pit stop in St. Louis we were also able to take some pictures of them. Then we decided we needed to head home. About a hour and a half later we see some of the cars coming up in the rear view mirror and were able to get some more pictures of them passing us.


Once home we picked up Ne-J from camp and she was so excited to see us and once home she took a loop around her yard then came in and was then out for the count for the rest of the evening.
