Holly Comes to Cincinnati

At the end of July, Holly drove down from her new home in the suburbs of Chicago to visit us. This is not Holly's first appearance in the blog, but if you didn't know Holly has been a good friend of ours since medical school. She recently moved to the Chicagoland area to join a private pediatrics practice. We are so glad that before she started she came for a visit.

She arrived Friday night and actually beat me home from work. Luckily we had left her a key and the code to our alarm system. We ordered a pizza and got caught up on each other's lives. I was nervous to go out to dinner since I was on call and figured as soon as we left the house I would get paged. Luckily the pager stayed quiet and we had a good visit. Saturday we headed to the museum to see the Bodies exhibit. Ari was off so he was able to join us too. The Cincinnati museums are all housed in one builing, an old train terminal. You enter each museum individually from its own terminal, which I think is pretty clever. The Bodies exhibit was pretty awesome. It certainly brought back some flashbacks of anatomy class. It is amazing to see the detail in the preserved bodies; we all agreed our dissections were not that good! After the exhibit we went to a fun and tasty restaurant called Shanghai Mama's. Do you know where we went after that... if you have read any of the previous entries you know that we went to Graeter's for ice cream... mmm...

The next morning we went out for breakfast and then Holly headed for home to get ready for her first day at her new job. She also left us with a gift for our baby: its first White Sox tshirt! Ari was thrilled, and I am cool with the baby being a Cardinals and White Sox fan! Thanks Holly!!
