Moving day.
With Cedar and Cambridge safely tucked away in the Nemec basement, we were all set to meet our belongings, who traveled via moving container a few days before us, in Newport, KY. (Thank you again to Chelsea, Joey, Quentin and Mike who helped us load in Cambridge).
Around 1:45pm we arrived. Before starting the large project of unloading, we fueled at the Blue Star Cafe next door. Gracie, the restaurant owner and our next door neighbor welcomed us with bluegrass in the air and sandwiches for our bellies.
Unloading with the help of J's dad (many thanks again!) we unloaded 2 containers in 3 hours into our 3 floor home. After a trip to the local K-mart (apparently we are getting a Target real soon!) for shower curtains, well deserved showers and dinner were in our future. We stepped outside and in less than 4 minutes we were at our local Italian restaurant, Pompilios.
Walking around our new hood we discovered our local bars, including Mansion Hill Tavern, which has Cornhole tournaments on the street- Andrew and Mark, Epic BBQ Cornhole champs, we might have to ring you in- and that Cincinnati, OH was a leisurely 20 minute walk across the Purple People Bridge from our front door.
Tomorrow we leave our unpacked boxes to settle in Newport and continue our journey to Michigan. The question is: do we stop at the Beef Jerky outlet?

aw hell. You did move in this week? Crap. I apologize for not helping. I was confused about when you were arriving. I'm a big jerk. You will be smothered with hospitality when you return. And watch out for the marionettes in Mansion Hill. They're creepy! Also, FYI, no beer taps there.
