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...
Overnight at Kokosing
It was a good day at Sugarcreek. We brunched at Wall House, browsed and lunched at Lehman's, enjoyed iced coffee and a little ice cream at New Grounds Cafe then visited with friends and learned even more about the 400 at nüCamp. Then it was time to ramble. The...
And the Shoe Fits
The search for the perfect shoe has yielded success! A pair of Ahnu Montara IIs have served Karen well for nearly two years of daily wear. They're waterproof but breathable, comfortable and stable. They look good enough for city streets and perform well on back...
A Taste of India

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...
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...

OUR VERY
LATEST
London’s Canals
The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
National Portrait Gallery
It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
Bletchley Park
It was at Bletchley Park that the Allied Codebreakers deciphered German military messages during the Second World War. A free guided tour gave us a good overview of the campus and the activities that occurred here from 1938 to 1945.
