Just what we needed, when and where we needed it. The Skyline Chili Parlor on Delhi Pike not only promised a tasty and quick comfort food meal but delivered. With friendly service to boot. We love the Three Way Chili, spaghetti topped with a Mediterranean spiced meat...

Taft Grew Up Here
Park RangerHome Tour Video 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...
On the Other Side
It wasn't until yesterday that we knew what dates we wanted to be in the Cincinnati area. Of course by then Winton Woods and Miami Whitewater Forest were totally reserved for this July weekend. Instead we were able to get a site at the KOA Cincinnati NE for five...
Time for a Break
Today's journey isn't a long one. If we don't run into any traffic jams, driving time should be under three hours. Certainly we have time for a rest stop break. The search for geocaches took us past this Pollinator Habitat Zone. We successfully found two of three...

Hot Fudge Cake
A staple on the Frisch's dessert menu for decades, we both enjoy sweet memories of this decadent dessert. Today we broke camp in Grand Rivers after a five night stay and moved to the KOA in Shepherdsville KY south of Louisville. We took the opportunity to do a bit of...
1850 Homeplace
Step through the back doors of the welcome center and you are transported back one hundred sixty seven years to time before automobiles and tractors, before electricity and sewing machines. The 1850 Homeplace is a working farm and homestead featuring interpreters in...
