Well, the last two days have been rainy and my husband was off of work so yesterday we decided we went exploring and checking out the area. :)
We went to Cincinnati and around to learn the area. We went to Michael's for some craft supplies and then we went back to another part of town that we haven't been to before. They had a Michael's, a store called Gordman's and a Hobby Lobby there.
The main reason we stopped there was for a store called Jungle Jims. It is an international market and it is AMAZING. My husband was really excited to stop there and I didn't understand it at all! UNTIL, we got inside...
First off, in the parking lot they have jungle noises playing... How fun is that! :)
So, this is right out front of the store... I had to take a picture of it! :) It is awesome and if you look closely there are jungle animals inside! :)
This is the sign for the store. Looks cool right?!?!
AND the entrance! :)
And then INSIDE:
This little store is gourmet herbs and spices! It is AMAZING! Next time my parents come to visit I HAVE to take my mom there! She will LOVE it!
This little store is ALL Olive Oils! Different types and flavors. I didn't know there were so many different olive oils and I didn't know that there were so many different uses. This is another place I want to take my mom and my grandma too! :)
This is just ONE of the shelves of the olive oils. It is neat. You can try them all, mix them, whatever you want. AND then the bottles below are empty and you fill them with FRESH olive oil!!!
They have a little theater inside that tells the story of Jungle Jims. We didn't go in to watch it but I definitely want to next time!!!!
AND this store! The Chocolate Pizza Company! It is amazing! They had samples in there and it is DELICIOUS! I have to figure out an excuse to buy one of these! Mom, we will be visiting this one too!
So, as usual our first stop anywhere is the bathroom... LOOK AT THESE! It is crazy! These are the entrances to the bathrooms in the front of the store. (They are very nice inside by the way! AND much bigger on the inside! HAHA!!! Sorry some Dr. Who humor there!)
I love the way this was painted so I had to get a picture of it! :) Such bright beautiful colors!! :)
Then we move on to the rest of the store! :)
So, I need my family to help me... What restaurant did we used to eat in that had these dishes??? Was it Yee's?
This WHOLE row... All the way top to bottom to the VERY END is all TEA's. Teabags, loose leaf teas, whatever type and flavor you could want!!! Its CRAZY!!!

This next section is just for my little brother! :)
Check it out! :) We will have to get him out here so we can take him to this store too. :)
LOOK MOM! I can buy Hatch Green Chile here! :)
It is in the Hispanic/Mexico aisle. :)
Moving into the seafood/meat section we find this!!!
They had fish tacos for us to try. They were SUPER yummy! :)
THIS whole row is Torani flavored syrups... I didn't realize there were THAT many flavors. Mom look at this!
Plane powered by hot sauce! :)
Kellogs cereal characters and Pinnochio and Gepetto! :) How fun!
More character decorations around the store! :) Of course I had to take a picture of Donald Duck! :)
:) We will have to take my grandma here to get some Beignet Mix and Chicory Coffee! :)
I just had to take a picture of this.....
And who doesn't need a picture of a pirate ship??? Especially one in the middle of a grocery store?
I took a picture of this because well... .I'm not sure why. I do know it makes me unhappy!
Look Mom, ground lamb and flying pigs!
More awesome store decorations!

AND the bakery section... It smelled AMAZING! :)
AND Check out the amazing baked goodies! :)
More fun decorations!
We didn't really venture in here but this is the produce section... IT IS HUGE! Next time we will go look.
They have an olive bar, Mediterranean salad bar, and salsa bar.
This is Jack Daniel!
He stands right outside this State Liquor Store.
Wine Cellar in the store! :) The doors are so pretty!



These are outside the exit! :) How fun!!!
This store was so much fun and it took us HOURS to walk through it. I can't wait to go back and see what we missed... I'm sure there are TONS!
