Sunday Brunch with special people. Five of us gathered on the patio of The Brown Dog Cafe for a delectable meal and leisurely visit. The cafe is a part of the new Blue Ash community complex located on the site of the former Blue Ash airport. We checked out another...

Road Trip
A Taste of India
When cousins suggested we meet st Maya's Indian Cuisine in Price Hill, we knew we were in for an adventure since neither of us is familiar with Indian fare. With a bit a guidance and only a tiny bit of trepidation, we chose Chicken Tikki Masala and Goat Saag...
Historic Downtown Lebanon
Lebanon is an Ohio town that we'll readily admit we knew little about other than it's northeast of Cincinnati near I-71. After we arrived on Thursday we watched this Ohio Magazine video and decided that we must spend some time exploring the area. This morning we...
Skyline Hits the Spot
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...
Facedown with John Deere
On Lyons Station Road outside of New Haven KY we came face to face with John Deere. Not once but twice. This smaller one certainly takes up more than it's share of this two lane road but the first one, that we weren't quick enough to photograph, needed fully three...
A View that Lincoln Knew
Feeling refreshed we continued our journey of understanding the young Lincoln at Knob Creek Farm. This was the location of Abe's first memories, when his father was fighting a legal battle to reclaim Sinking Creek Farm, where Thomas and Nancy took a bold stand against...
Hodgenville Grille
After our midday adventures at Sinking Spring Farm in this July heat we were ready for some iced tea and a bite to eat. Yelp! led us to exactly the right place. The exterior of this place wasn't particularly inviting but once we walked through the doors everything was...

OUR VERY
LATEST
Harvest Hosts Holiday Weekend
It's a strange feeling to be traveling this weekend from the North Carolina Outer Banks into Tidewater Virginia. Traditionally we have not had to worry about having campground reservations for Memorial Day weekend but knowing that most campgrounds would be full to...
The Wright Brothers Memorial
Remembering how much we learned and how much we enjoyed the visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorial at Manteo, North Carolina when were here with our young family in 1986, we decided that despite the Memorial Day weekend traffic on the North Carolina's Outer...
The Battle of New Bern
One historic site in the New Bern area that we had not been aware of before our visit is the New Bern Battlefield Park, owned and maintained by the New Bern Historical Society. The park's acreage preserves a significant portion of the land where in March 1862 Union...
