Atop Cincinnati’s Mt Auburn overlooking the Ohio River sits William Howard Taft National Historic Site. His family moved to the young and bustling Queen City in 1838 and settled first in the basin before purchasing this Greek Revival house where Will was born and raised. After watching the orientation film, we were the only visitors on today’s twelve o’clock tour giving us the full attention of a very well informed ranger who gave us a lot of insight into our 27th President and 10th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
