cincy road trip - thursday...

max and i loaded up in the car a few weeks ago and headed to cincinnati for our annual get-together with my friends from my time volunteering in kentucky.

he was set with toy story and his own little can of pringles.

we drove all the way to the edge of wisconsin and stopped somewhere i've always wanted to visit...the jelly belly factory.

we loaded up on the jelly belly express for the tour.

me and my buddy.

he gave me a thumbs up before the tour started.
i don't know if either of us would have given one at the end.
it wasn't as cool as i had hoped...but it was still interesting.

the store was much more exciting.
there was so much to look at...and to taste!

i got us each our own customized bag of jelly belly beans.
max choose cherry and watermelon, drew wanted pear and buttered popcorn, and i got toasted marshmallow and cappuccino.

max really wanted this hat...but i just couldn't bring myself to purchase it.

after all that excitement and then lunch, max took a snooze in the car.
we stopped just north of indianapolis and stayed at a "hotel, motel, holiday inn."
(that's what max calls them!)

we found the packer pre-season game on espn...so we decided to order a pizza!
we got all set for a picnic on the bed.

at half-time we changed into our suits and went swimming for a bit.
after swimming we got ready for bed and watched some more of the game before we fell asleep.

it was an awesome, laid back, no schedule day.
i'm not usually a "no schedule" kind of girl...so it was fun to just relax and make memories with max!
