Fun for Everyone at the Great Wolf Lodge
Spring Break 2016: We spent a long weekend travelling to three different cities in Ohio finding unique & interesting places to explore and visit. We stayed in some awesome hotels, ate some great food and saw so many cool things! I’ll share our trip with you in a series of installments in the coming weeks...
Herb n Thelma’s Tavern
One of our favorite places to grab a burger in Northern Kentucky is Herb n Thelma’s Tavern. This little bar has been an institution in Covington since 1939. It is a quintessential small town bar where people greet you with a friendly smile and the bartender will probably even remember your brew of choice. This place is...
Broadway in Cincinnati presents Beauty and the Beast
This week at the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati Beauty and the Beast will be taking the stage, and I for one cannot wait! I have already warned my daughter that I will most likely be belting out “Be Our Guest” right there with Lumiere. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie,...
A Quick Stop in Milan, Ohio
While on our way to Sandusky this week we made a pit stop in the nearby Village of Milan, Ohio to have lunch. Milan, Ohio is about three and a half hours north of the Greater Cincinnati area where we live. We drove through this charming town last fall on our way to Sandusky for...
House of Grill ~ Persian Restaurant
I have to say that I am really happy with all of the new and interesting restaurants popping up in Covington. House of Grill on Fifth Street is one of the latest restaurants to open up and their specialty is Persian Cuisine. I’ve never been to a Persian restaurant, so my curiosity was piqued, especially after...
Cincinnati Preservation’s 2016 Spring House Tour
One of my favorite things to do each spring is to attend the Cincinnati Preservation Association’s Spring House Tour. Each year they select a unique and historic neighborhood in Cincinnati to spotlight. Each year’s Spring House Tour showcases a collection of beautiful homes that have a rich history. My father and I have been going to this tour...
Frida 602 in the Main Strasse Village
Frida 602 in the Main Strasse Village is a perfect addition to a neighborhood full of interesting restaurants offering up a variety of menu options. Frida 602 brings to us a restaurant (and bar) that serves up “Latin street cuisine”. The uber-creative couple Paul Weckman and Emily Wolff, who also own Otto’s, recently renovated a great old...
Red River Gorge {Fall 2015}
Our family loves to spend time at the Red River Gorge. Each year we spend our Fall Break tent camping and hiking at the Red River Gorge (provided the weather cooperates). When we first started going, we weren’t very good campers at all but since then I’ve read more expert camping information and reviews, bought...
Rabbit Hash
Today we took a long drive in the country and made a stop in Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. We love this quaint little town on the banks of the Ohio River. It’s the only town that I know of that has a four legged friend as a mayor, a Border Collie named Lucy Lou. We have been...
Broadway in Cincinnati presents The Book of Mormon
Broadway in Cincinnati has a very special limited run show at the Aronoff right now…The Book of Mormon! We had the opportunity to see the show last night and I laughed so hard that I even snorted at one point, much to my embarrassment. Let me start by saying that this show is NOT suitable...
Cirque du Soleil’s Toruk at the US Bank Arena
Over the years I have seen a few Cirque du Soleil shows, and each one is more fascinating than the next. It sounds like the Cirque du Soleil production of Toruk is going to amaze and astound as well! Toruk is based on one of my family’s favorite movies, AVATAR and will be coming to US...
16 Bit Bar + Arcade
If you want to find a plethora of old school arcade games under one roof you NEED to visit 16 Bit Bar + Arcade in Over the Rhine. We went a few weeks ago for a date night and we were both impressed by how many games from our childhood there were there. Michael of...
