TBIT Post 6 Oct. 22nd - the Nati

So, Monday morning Tim and I got up to do a quick trip to Cincinnati! Yeah, how do we do that? Anyway, our plane was scheduled to leave at 7:50am on Tuesday morning...so we did have a challenge ahead! So, we got to Cincinnati to meet a friend for breakfast and we were joined by a couple more friends which was really nice. I can't tell you how much I miss First Watch http://www.firstwatch.com/ My personal favorite is the POWER WRAP and it was just as good as I remembered it. Then, we headed to the new Bond Hill/Reading branch of the Public Library to see it. It was just being planned and built when I left so I had to see it. It was combined in a location with a community center and job services which is so awesome! And, then I headed to Norwood to see another friend at the library and then downtown to see my former boss and talk with her. Then it was to West End to see the library I miss so much!! It was good to see everyone and get a chance to see some of the kids and changes since I have been gone. It made me a little homesick. But...it RAINED and Tim and I were reminded as we drove up I-75 in the rain why we like Spokane....no traffic to deal with. We headed to Joseph Beth Booksellers (we also miss that store) to see a friend there...and then to our old stomping grounds in Northside to see some more friends. I picked up a friend for dinner and it was hard to decide where to go. There are so many great places to eat in Cincinnati Zips, Vincenzo's, Habits, Boswell's, and the list could go on...I even miss Steak and Shake....anyway I settled on Habits for some Potato Rags!! So yummy, I think they made them specially good for me!! Anyway it was past 11pm when Tim and I headed back to Columbus to sleep for a couple hours before heading out of Ohio....
