Cincinnati, Day Two

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

Cincinnati has one of the best rated zoos in the midwest and, after our visit today, I would have to agree. The day didn't start off very well, though, when I dropped our camera just as we entered. A piece fell down in a grate and another part of the camera was dented. Here was the test photo I took to make sure it worked, despite the damage. Needless to say, Kevin wasn't real happy...

Surprisingly, Camden stayed awake for most of the morning. She loved the stroll outside; however, she wasn't real thrilled about getting in and out of her seat for pictures. But it was worth it for me to get these pictures of our baby girl's first trip to the zoo!

Finally Camden was begging to be left alone for a bit and we headed back to the hotel for a brief rest. We made a quick lunch stop at Camp Washington Chili for some famous Cincinnati Chili. Once again, we were not disappointed in this local favorite!

Our day concluded with our anniversary dinner at The Precinct Steakhouse. This was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had and probably the best steak. Our waiter was fantastic, several managers stopped to admire Camden and wish us a happy anniversary, and "the captain" made us a special complimentary dessert of bananas foster, complete with flaming table-side service.

The restaurant is housed in the former Police Patrol House Number 6 and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks. It was a fabulous anniversary celebration.

Another great day in this city with my wonderful husband and beautiful baby!
