Right now we are trekking across the frigid cold of the Midwest in order to visit our families. Nanc will be too pregnant to make the journey during the traditional holidays, so we're out now.

We just left Ohio yesterday. Read on for a brief synopsis and some pics.

We were in Cincinnati for the past several days spending time with Nancy's folks and brothers, Mike and Craig. On Sunday, Nancy's mom surprised us with a baby shower. Well, it would've been a surprise of Mike and Craig hadn't each accidentally spilled the beans about the shower. Regardless of any previous knowledge, the shower was a lot of fun, and we got to visit with family and friends.

While down there, we also made sure to stop in for some local eats: Skyline Chili and Graeter's ice cream. Even though Tums and Maalox antacids are not local to Cinci, we ate some of those too. :-P

On our way out of Ohio, we spent a night catching up with some old friends in Columbus. We had a fantastic evening conversing and laughing with Renee and Deidre, Joel and Scott, and Jeff and Sue. (Fun fact: Columbus is where Nancy and I met and started dating.)
