Father's Day Weekend!!

This past weekend Brett, Gabriel and I all went to Cincinnati for our first family getaway!!

Before the trip, Gabe had to make Daddy's gift!


Thinking about his next move..


Little Picasso hard at work!


This face... :)
We promptly took a bath after this art project!


The finished masterpiece!


His "I Love Daddy" outfit :)


We left on Friday afternoon and made the 2 1/2 hour drive to Cincinnati!!
Gabe was very happy to get out of his car seat and jump, roll and play on the big hotel bed!!


The boys getting some "work" done!


I like this hotel thing!


We went to dinner at one of our favorite Cincinnati spots... Montgomery Inn!
We were seated at a PERFECT table... right on the river! This gave Gabe something to look at during dinner :)
Boys in Bibs!


He LOVED playing with his coloring book from the waitress :)


One tired little boy... but we must say, he had PERFECT table manners all through dinner!


After dinner, we went for a stroll along the river and stopped at a water fountain area that has just been recently built.  It provided a nice way to cool off... Gabe wasn't so sure about water shooting up at him!


Tuckered out baby boy :)
My parents have pictures of me sleeping like this so I HAD to get this shot!


On Saturday we got up, ate breakfast, went for a short swim (Gabe wasn't too excited about it), went to lunch at one of our other fave spots, First Watch, hit the bookstore where Brett found 2 new books for Gabey, went to a basketball game to watch some W-G girls then promptly came back to the hotel for a MUCH NEEDED NAP for Snuggly! Whew, busy day!

On Sunday, we all got up early and met the Sprangs at the Cincinnati Zoo!
We got VERY close to the Giraffe's!


Daddy and Gabey checking out the black bears


Polar Bears!!


Sleeping Lions!!!


Our little family on Brett's 1st Father's Day!  <3

After the zoo, we ate at the boys' favorite spot, Skyline Chili to round out our "taste of Cincinnati".  After some good food and good conversation, we set out on 75N toward home! What a fun weekend!
