Got another Pigfest<\/a> in the books, and I suppose I am a little worse for the wear because of it.\u00a0 Good times to be sure, I just think I am getting a little old for any event that lasts over 2 hours.<\/p>\n

We flew into Indianapolis last Thursday afternoon (cheaper airfare,) rented a car, and headed for downtown Cincy.\u00a0 I’m not exactly sure what the hurry was…\u00a0 We got to the hotel by 3:00 and found ourselves with nothing to do.\u00a0 No worries though, we’re pretty good at that.\u00a0 We sat around the hotel for several hours and then met our friend Amy down at a place called “Knock Back Nats” for a little happy hour.\u00a0 Nice lil’ pub, reminded us of Bobby Bakers.\u00a0 We caught up on all the current Cincy happenings over a few hours, then turned in relatively early.<\/p>\n

Friday was another rather relaxing day.\u00a0 We spent the better part of it out at the hotel pool, enjoying the sun and reading books.\u00a0 I have been honing my pool-loitering techniques this summer at Woodside, and actually am getting quite good at it.\u00a0 My tolerance level is up to about 3 hours before I start getting fidgity.\u00a0 So, we splashed around for a while, then headed out to lunch at the place I love to hate, Skyline Chili<\/a>.\u00a0 Weird stuff man, weird stuff.\u00a0 We go there at least once every time we are there though, under the “When in Cincy…” premise.\u00a0 After filling our bellies on oddly spiced psuedo-meat kinda-chili product, we walked back across the street to the same place as the night before, Knock Back Nats, to meet up with Kim & Ed and their posse for some evening entertainment.\u00a0 Same drill as the night before, but we stayed out later this time and hit a few more spots.<\/p>\n

Saturday was pig-day.\u00a0 The day started out rather slowly when one of us couldn’t answer the bell for breakfast.\u00a0 Or after breakfast.\u00a0 Or checkout time, or lunch.\u00a0 I don’t think it’s necessary to name names, but it wasn’t me.\u00a0 Personally I like to maximize my pig-fest time by showing up around 11:00, but as it happened we didn’t even leave the hotel until well after 1:00.\u00a0 I’ve been cheated!\u00a0 Oh well, when you need to sleep in a little extra, there’s not much you can do but sleep in.\u00a0 We made it out to the Paff Entertainment Complex a little after 2:00, and luckily there was still plenty of pig left.\u00a0 (Dinner actually isn’t until much later…\u00a0 I don’t know why I like to get there so early.\u00a0 Same reason I like to get to hotels early, who knows.)\u00a0 We passed the day enjoying some sun, catching up with all our Cincy friends, and taking our annual drubbing in cornhole.\u00a0 (I actually made it to the second round this year though.)<\/p>\n

Sunday was “travel back to KC” day.\u00a0 We headed back to the Paff’s house under the pretense of “helping clean up” but ended up laying in their pool instead.\u00a0 Some time later in the afternoon Donette started cipherin’ the math on how long it would take us to get back to Indy airport and decided we were already running a little late.\u00a0 I rather grudgingly got out of the pool and we headed that way.\u00a0 Indeed, we barely got there in time for our flight, especially after our Garmin led us to a big deserted building with a big sign that said “Airport Has Moved.”\u00a0 Oops, time to update the Garmin.\u00a0 We made it though, and it actually worked out good because just as we were passing the checkin desk they announced the flight was oversold by one and they needed somebody to stay back.\u00a0 So, Donette quickly veered over and took them up on that.\u00a0 Next trip is now paid for!<\/p>\n

That was it for the day.\u00a0 Donette’s folks picked me up in KC, I went and got Gabe from his Aunt Ronda’s house, drove straight home and wiped out on the couch.\u00a0 Donette was in bed this morning when I got up, so presumably she got home also.\u00a0 I managed to actually take some pictures for once over the weekend, I’ll do my best to get those up this evening.\u00a0 Next trip, Kentucky!!<\/p>\n
