The Workout Room.

We had a ridiculous day yesterday. We went from loving to hating and back to loving Kentucky about a million times. The weather was shit, and in the 2,000+ miles this little jeep has traveled, Kentucy was the first place we hit traffic. And we hit traffic over and over again. We didn't get too far, but we were so happy to end the day of driving with the workout room in the Westin in downtwon Cincinnati, which Suzi likes because it has the word Sin in it.

We had heavenly beds, combined with a living room, tradmill, free weights, yoga mat, excercise ball and tv. After playing around and pretending we'd work out we walked around the block in search of dinner and drinks and ended up directly in front of our hotel at a little bustling French bistro. We sat at the bar, drank spanish wine, were talked to by overly friendly and somewhat annoying Cinncinatians men (not all born & raised locals). It was fun and entertaining, but beyond that the food was amazzzzing. We needed real food (meaning fruits & vegetables and clean fresh meat) and we got it...endive, apple, walnut salad - french onion soup - a salad of beets and goat cheese (it was all chopped up and mixed together - it was so bright and colorful and as we already said YUM! Rebecca didn't even know she likes beets!) - then on to the main course of halibut, some yam or carrot pureee, potatoes, cinderella squash. To top it off we had an apple and ice cream tartin.

Then the night went on...in the hotel room. We turned on a movie we didn't watch. We drank a bit more wine. We ordered more dessert while Rebecca played with the exercise equipment, while Suzi posted photos for you to see. Then Rebecca passed out. Next Suzi passed out. We woke up at 8:30 after saying we were leaving at 8 (we forgot to set alarms). It's all good though - we left Sin-city with good food and we're making amazing time on our way to Pennsylvania...trying to power through to NY today. It's sunny for the first time in days and we feel great!
