The kind folks from Cincinnati USA suggested the Sleepy Bee Cafe in Oakley, right off the highway, for breakfast on the way in. (Again, you’ll read more about that soon.) It started with a trip to see Art of the Brick at the Cincinnati Museum Terminal (it’s incredible – stay tuned for a blog post about the trip), then snowballed from “Well, we should find a breakfast spot” to “We found a cheap hotel on Hotwire” and suddenly it became a weekend trip.
