IKEA, Indian food and Indiana Jones

Yesterday was the first day of the long weekend. We decided to go to Cincinnati, OH (it is about 1.5 hrs away). Our plan was to spend the entire day there, some shopping at IKEA and a visit to the Zoo.

Cincinnati is the closest town that has an IKEA, for those who don't know what IKEA is check out www.ikea.com. It is one of the coolest store and you can find stuff pretty cheap. After about $100 and about 2 hours we had pretty much everything we needed for the spare bedroom and bathroom. In the middle of shopping at IKEA we got a call from our friends, they wanted to get together in the evening, have supper at a new Indian restaurant (we now have one in Columbus) and go watch the new Indiana Jones movie. We decided that we might spend less time at the Zoo and head home for a night out with our friends. But going to the Zoo turned out to be a really bad decision. It took us about 1 hour to just get to the parking lot, a mile walk to the zoo once we parked, and it would have taken at least an hour to get a ticket to get in to the Zoo. We decided to cut short our trip and skipped the Zoo and headed home.

For supper we met up with our friends at the new Indian restaurant called Passage to India. It is pretty decent food . After stuffing ourselves with Indian food we headed to watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It is a typical Indy movie, lots of stuff that will never happen, but it is totally worth watching once.
