Andrea made two AWESOME Lego men cakes (Jonathan's request: Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi.)
We had a small family party for Jonathan the Saturday before his birthday. Cake, ice cream, and presents. Nice.
Jonathan's birthday wish list consisted of only Legos, which gave Chris the idea that our family needed to travel to the nearest Lego Store (which happens to be in Cincinnati) to purchase our presents for him. We loaded up the afternoon before his birthday (last Sunday) and set out. We stayed the night in Blue Ash and headed to Kenwood Place the next morning.
Kenwood Towne Centre is an incredible mall. Lots of high end stores, including The Cheesecake Factory (yum!) The mall opened at 10am but we arrived a bit early. Once we found the Lego Store the boys were drooling over the window displays. Although the store was not as big as I thought it could be, when the doors opened we were all drooling. We had so much fun shopping and in the end, all ended up getting something.
With a successful trip to the Lego Store under our belts we headed to Dayton to visit the Air Force Museum. Chris conned us into stopping at Skyline Chili for lunch (Um Hello???!!! What about the Cheesecake Factory???) He even made me use my GPS. We drove two miles out of our way...Unbelievable!
The Air Force Museum is amazing. So much history. I highly recommend making the trip.
I'm pretty sure these are actual pieces from the Berlin Wall.
We were all pretty pooped after the museum and the trek home was prolonged by our stop at Tuttle Crossing to eat dinner at McDonald's (Jonathan's request...how could we deny him on his birthday???)
Happy birthday Buddy! I love you so much!!!
