Howllo fellow basset hound and Sunday Brunch Lovers…Grandma and I had so much fun today.  We went to brunch at our favorite and the most beautiful hotel in Cincinnati, (Hilton Netherland Plaza).  We have gone to brunches here before and I have blogged about it before but this was the Holiday Charles Dickens Brunch!  There was Yorkshire pudding, scotch eggs, figgy pudding, steak and onion pie, and of course much more!  It was soooooooooo good!
