The intent of our first "vacation" was to stay 3 nights in Cincinnati with the main event being Matt's cousin Molly's wedding on Saturday. I definitely think we overestimated our children at their current ages. We made through the first day with a visit to Newport, Kentucky to the Newport Aquarium and then a trip to Jungle Jim's International Market (a huge grocery store in Cincinnati). Fast forward to the first evening in the hotel...none of the kids would sleep after nearly 2 hours of trying. The twins were constantly crying due to being overtired (I never realized how much they cry when I don't care how loud they are at home, but in a public hotel with neighbors listening it's an entirely different story.) We finally gave up around 10pm Thursday and drove the entire way back to Indianapolis. We had the hotel for 3 nights however, so Matt and Jackson went back the second day for the wedding rehearsal. Mia, the twins, and I all came back Saturday morning before the wedding. Tomorrow's post will be pics from the wedding. We survived, but I do not think we will be staying in a hotel again for like 10 years...ok maybe not 10 years, but close to it.
