Today, my parents, Genifer and I walked up into Over-the-Rhine for lunch. Along the way, we stopped in to check out Elm & Iron on Vine Street…

And there’s a dang Swiss gondola in the store…

Which could be yours if the Price is Right…

They have such unique stuff at Elm & Iron. I don’t know who can afford most of it. But unique nonetheless. From there we headed over to Taft’s Ale House for lunch…

The Huntsman Stew my dad ordered was really on point…

And so was the chicken sammich Genifer and I shared…

We had another beer at Taft’s Ale House down in the lower level at Nellie’s Tap Room. And then headed over to have a drink at Nation Kitchen and Bar in Pendleton…

There are some really gorgeous building in Over-the-Rhine. These two are on Main Street…

On the way home, we swung through Horseshoe Casino. Mom walked out the casino with more money than she had when she walked. And that always makes for a good day!

We made it home just in time for the start of the Superb Owl because after all, it is…

Mom brought Polish Mistakes, or Hanky Pankies as Genifer like to call them…

And bacon-wrapped water chestnuts…

And I made these pepperoni balls for the big game…

It was a really great and delicious weekend with my parents! We crammed a lot of stuff in to just a couple of days! We can’t wait to see them again when we get married in Jamaica in just a couple weeks! 🙂
