Last year around this time we were losing our minds & needed a change of scenery. We didn't care where we went as long as we could afford it. My husband booked us a night at a hotel in downtown Cincinnati & we planned to drive down, stay the night, & go to the Newport Aquarium the next day (baby Ara only took interest in the fish at the Zoo so might as well spend a whole day with them).
BEST. IDEA. EVER.
So good that we participated in a Silent Auction and bid on a one night stay at one of the nicer hotels in Downtown Cincy (& won!) Wait... it gets better... they never sent us our vouchers... (ok bad at first).... then when I called they apologized & got us TWO nights at a downtown hotel. We booked mid November because we knew that after Highball we all needed to get away. A little earlier in the season (so no ice skating or scuba santa), but we still had a lovely weekend (even with a Toddler)
Here are some of the highlights:

Ara Still LOVES the Aquarium
She ran around, looked at fishies, played with the Christmas lights (all part of the experience), tapped all kids within touching distance just to let them know she was there, squealed in delight, fussed (almost tantrum) for another girl's doll & was completely exhausted afterwards. #wewon

This wheel part of an educational display in the Penguin
area entertained her the better half of an hour. |

Ooo & I got to take some pretty fishy pictures:
