Target Birds on Holiday...Cincinnati Style

When Susan at Between Naps on the Porch alerted everyone that the Target bird salt and pepper shakers seemed to be flying the coop all over blogland, I figured I’d better check on my little pair. Well, when I went to their usual nesting spot beside their little blue friends, this is what I saw:

As we were getting ready to go away for spring break, I didn’t have time to look for them further, and just hoped for the best, that they would return safely home.

On Thursday afternoon, we loaded up the car, kids and Lucy and prepared to head toward Cincinnati. Right as we got on the interstate, I could hear the rustle of feathers and muffled chirping. It seemed to be coming from the glove box, so I opened it and this is what I saw:

The rascally little devils heard us talking about going away for spring break, and decided to stow along with us! Well, there was no turning back, so we decided to press on.

Over the next five days, my little birdies traveled from Virginia, through West Virginia, into Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana. They heard us talking about all of our favorite Cincinnati restaurants, and said they would like to tag along since we were fresh out of worms for them. Here are some of the places they went:


White Castle

Skyline Chili

And finally, they arrived back at their own little nest!
