After the concert we checked into our hotel in downtown Cinci, checked out our room and then headed out for a walk. We walked all over these skywalks to different small shopping areas. After some walking we decided to have some dinner at Palomino, yummy! Once back at the hotel we decided to check out the swimming pool. Cara loved swimming, she wanted to stay longer than we did. She loved "jumping" in from the side.
The next morning after breakfast we headed across the river to the Newport Aquarium. The aquarium was more crowded than we expected, probably because it was so cold and blustery out. They had a great shark exhibit, but Cara's favorite were the penguins.
A stop at the brand new IKEA in northern Cinci was next on the agenda. 2 hours later, we were on our way home. Scott found a new desk for his office at school, and Cara got a few new things from IKEA. One was an artist easel which has been a huge hit already! Well worth the $20 bucks it cost!!

I can tell that Cara has the love of swimming that her grandma A has. This summer we will both chill out together at the swimming pool. Looks like a great trip.
