Last Free Friday at the Museum Center for the year.

This Friday will be the last Free Friday of the year at the Cincinnati Museum center. Parking is $6 before 4:30 and $4 after 4:30. The 3 museums are FREE! Just stop at the ticket booth and tell them how many tickets you need. Adults can enjoy this too - The Cincinnati History Museum has lots of cool things to see and so does the Natural History Museum. Also check out the I AM exhibit downstairs near the children's museum - This might require a separate ticket so ask about it at the ticket booth.

2010 Cincinnati Top Doctors

At the beginning of every calendar year, Cincinnati Magazine runs a section in their January issue called "Top Doctors."  I think this is a valuable tool to use as a starting point for finding a good physician, or for finding a physician in a specialty that you are unfamiliar with.  The list works like this:

Cincinnati Magazine surveys 5,297 physicians in eight counties—Hamilton, Warren, Butler, and Clermont in Ohio; Boone, Campbell, and Kenton in Kentucky; and Dearborn in Indiana. They ask those physicians to tell us whom they would turn to if "you, a family member, or a friend needed medical attention." (And they are asked  to refrain from nominating themselves.)

The results: 571 physicians in 42 specialties, each of whom received at least five votes from their peers. The final results are checked against state medical board records to ensure that the list does not include any doctors with formal actions against them. The list does not, of course, include every caring, knowledgeable, and responsible physician in Greater Cincinnati. Unless otherwise indicated, physicians on the list are accepting new patients. Also unless otherwise indicated, these physicians are M.D.s. Some physicians are listed in multiple specialties.

You do not need to subscribe to the magazine to view the list online.  You can click on the link below.  Note:  the first page of the list is blank, so you will need to scroll down to get to the list.

Favorite Friday Night Dinner Plans

Our favorite family date night is every Friday at Qdoba on Mall Road.  With the purchase of each meal, you get a free kids meal, including a drink (a softdrink or milk).  So Brian and I can each get something, and feed our kids for free.  My kids usually choose soft tacos.  They are very kid friendly. 

You do not need a coupon, and this promotion runs every Friday.

If you've never eaten there, it is very similar to Chipotle.  My kids actually like it better because the meat is not quite as spicy as Chipotle.  I highly recommend the summer salad with mango salsa.  Yum!
