List Work

Several months ago, Joey and I made a list of things we wanted to do. We are working on the list-both adding to it and enjoying ourselves. On Friday, we got to check off our first activity. We took Greg with us and went to Rookwood and the Cincinnati Art Museum in Mt. Adams. Rookwood recently reopened under new management, and while the freshly hand-cut fries were yummy, the sandwiches were a little greasy and not quite what we were hoping. Our expectations were fully met at the museum however. From the entrance to the stairways and balconies, much of the Cincinnati Art Museum reminded us of Night at the Museum. Joey especially enjoyed the mummies and the American artwork, but was a little freaked out by the tomb effigies.

Yesterday Greg's sister was in town from Vegas where she now lives and works, so Joey and I headed to Dayton for a visit. I am adding Visit Vegas to the List.
On our way home we stopped at IKEA. That place is crazy. I did not find what I wanted, but saw plenty of everything else. If I return, it will be without my child. Did I mention that place is crazy?
Today we went ice skating with Cassidy and the Wiethes. Or should I say ice-bucketing? Joey thought ice skating was fun, but he was so frightened of falling that he frogkicked his way around the rink using the bucket for support. I took my own spill and crawled to the edge of the ice to get up. I'm quite certain that my body will NOT thank me for adding this activity to our Must Do list, but we had a great time doing something new!
Adding to list: Indianapolis Children's Museum
