Headed to Ohio!

Thanks for reading along with our Franklin County adventures yesterday! That was the first stop in our anniversary weekend fun! After we left the county, we also left Indiana!

And so began one of the most fun, restful, FREEZING COLD vacations we've ever taken. I think the only other anniversary trip we've taken that has been even nearly this cold was #2, when we went to Chicago. (Ahhhh I remember running through the city to make our dinner reservations after we'd walked almost a mile in the wrong direction...SO COLD!)

When we planned this trip (several months ago) we found a really cute Airbnb in the suburb of West Chester, and we really loved it. It was close to everything we needed, but it was in this really cute little subdivision, complete with off-street parking.

Our space was the walkout basement of a beautiful home, and it was everything we needed. It was so incredibly spacious, which was nice, since we planned to stay a few days.

We had a table that was perfect for playing Dutch Blitz, journaling, and holding all our extra coffee cups. :)

We became Netflix people for the weekend! We don't have it, so it was fun to check it out for the weekend. Over in the corner was a kitchenette that had everything we needed!

Super comfy loveseat and bed, too!

We carted in alllllllllll our stuff (because we still don't pack light) and got settled in our temporary home. (Another great experience with Airbnb for the win!)

We decided to go out for dinner and planned to go to a BBQ place one of my friends recommended to me, but we weren't overly hungry, and we were afraid we wouldn't be able to fully enjoy a proper BBQ dinner. On our way, we saw a Chick-fil-A, and since we don't have one, we decided to detour and eat there instead.

It's never happened to us before, but the whole ordering process was kind of exhausting. (So not typical for them.) But it explains Ryan:

The girl behind me had SO MANY STORIES. Loud, loud stories.

So the food was good, but we were worn out by the time we left. It just so happens that this is also in West Chester:

So we decided to check it out! This is the very store where we bought our beloved Mo a few years back. (If you're new here, Mo was a couch. We loved him dearly but upgraded to a larger couch this year so we could better accommodate our small group. Mo went to a new home at Ryan's aunt and uncle's.)

We had fun looking around:

(Do you see it?)

After we window shopped for a while, we went to the café to split a piece of cake and get our free coffees. :)

And then we went back to the Airbnb where we played a few rounds of Dutch Blitz. That went a lot better after I found the four cards I'd accidentally left in the box.
