Arrived in Cincinnati

The birthday surprise adventure for Tower Girl was a trip to Washington, DC to meet Lucky for a couple of days in the capital. It was fun -- I drove my car in the lead, while she followed closely, all the while not knowing exactly where we were headed. Once we got to DC, we checked into a beautiful art deco hotel, where Lucky was waiting for us.

It was tons of fun, with sightseeing and drinking and eating and relaxing galore. And when it was all over, we had to face the long drive to Cincinnati. Lucky was....well, lucky, and flew, but Tower Girl and I were driving. And it was long and involved.

I had car troubles, preciptating a 2-hour delay in La Vale, Maryland. We ran into some construction, which caused some delays. And we were continually terrorized by rogue 18-wheelers that were intent on scaring the hell out of us making good time on the road.

We eventually made it to our destination at 11:45PM, a mere 11-1/4 hours after we left Washington. With stops and construction and car trouble, it wasn't all too unexpected. Still, we were tired and simply checked into our accommodations (not as nice as our last two stops), then hit the hay.

Today, I had to go to work while Tower Girl got to sleep in, but tonight we'll perhaps do some exploring of this place. Unfortunately, we've heard that they roll up the sidewalks at 6:00PM and there's nothing to do in the downtown core, which is where our apartments are. It could be a long stay...

Let the Set Up Games begin!
