Gotcha Day Get Together 2010
This past weekend we traveled to Cincinnati (Home of the Bearcats) to meet with Emily’s travel group. We drove down Friday afternoon and after checking into the Holiday Inn Express in Sharonville and taking a short break (30 minutes) we met a lot of the group at the Blue Goose Sports bar for dinner, after a short wait we were all seated in the same area and had a great dinner. (Thanks Eric for going early to arrange this). After dinner we went back to the hotel and our Hannah and Hannah Gross just had to swim. On Saturday we met (with an even bigger group) at Larossa’s Pizza for lunch and a few cupcakes (thanks Felicia & Matt). After lunch we headed to Sharon Woods and the kids (and adults) visited and played all day, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer day for March. All the families are doing great, it’s amazing what real American food will do. After some family’s left we decided to go to I-Hop for dinner, us and three of the other family’s had a great dinner and then the sad part came, it was time to part ways. A little teary eyed we went back to the hotel and once again Hannah & Hannah had to swim. Sunday morning we had breakfast at the hotel with the Gross’s and then headed north towards home. We had a great weekend but it seemed way to short. It was great to see everyone again. Even Hannah had a great time with Emily’s “China Cousins” as she calls them and their siblings. The bond we share with both of our (very wonderful) travel groups is hard for some to imagine but as Kevin (Snuffy) says it’s like we have four sides to our family, we have his side, my side, Hannah’s group and Emily’s group. We also have some very wonderful neighbors, I guess that makes five sides. We are very blessed!!! We hope we can continue to keep these groups together and meet for a long time to come. Also I would like to say thank you for the hospitality of our Cincinnati families and thank you for all those who helped in the planning of the weekend and researching the hotels for us, everything was perfect !!!! We look forward to seeing everyone in July at the FTIA reunion. Maybe there will be three boys from Cincinnati (Bearcat Fans) sporting their new “NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH” tee shirts.( We love you Shannon, Eric and boys as well as everyone in our groups) God bless everyone and have a great Easter.
