Chips come from the pantry...and other profound truths from Kentucky and Ohio

"Why?" you ask, has it taken me nearly a month to write about the BEST weekend of the summer? Oooops, sorry! I've been hoarding all of the goodness, keeping it to myself.

I went to Cincinnati to spend a long weekend with my people and it was truly an awesome trip.

There was boating and kaying on Lake Cumberland, Kentucky. There was a lot of decking in multiple locations and lots of drinking to go with it.
There were sunburns and the Tour de France. There was wakeboarding and red velvet cupcakes.

There was floating in the lake on Independence day. There was laughter to tears over where the chips came from..."Dawn, did you bring these chips? Where'd you get them?" "The Pantry."

There was a Fourth of July fish fry, Fourth of July fireworks in the rain, and most of all Fourth of July FUN!

On the way from Lake Cumberland to Cincinnati there were aliens as yard ornaments, there were floods, and there was Big Bone Lick State Park.

In Cincinnati there was a night jam packed with fun and laughter. There were hors d'oeuvres, wine, pizza, and devastation over a disorderly pantry.

There was the toss of the first empty wine bottle...

and the second.

There was me being so excited to bike in the "center for cycling excellence" that I couldn't help but make the "tard face".

There were high fives with touchdown Jesus, a lot of goose poop, and a peculiar religious compound.

There was Alaskan Halibut so good that I had dreams about it for days afterward, and the coconut/ginger rice wasn't too shabby either. Now I'm hungy.
