Cincinnati, Ohio

We have been to Cincinnati several times to visit my girlfriend and her husband. Wendy and I have known each other since high school and she moved there after we finished college. She met her husband David in Cincinnati and has been there ever since. So sad! However, we have found so much to do on our many trips to visit. Over the years, we have been to a Reds baseball game, gone on several hikes and eaten at many different restaurants. We have braved the cold winters, but really enjoy going in the late summer/early fall.


When the kids were younger, our favorite spot was the Cincinnati Children's Musuem. It is full of water activities, hands on exhibits and lots of areas for imaginary play. It was a great destination on a cold winter day. When the weather is nicer, we like to head to Newport on the Levee. It is just across the Ohio River on the Kentucky side and it is a waterfront shopping area with a movie theater, aquarium and several shops and restaurants. They even had a street fair along the river the afternoon we were there.

I think one of my greatest memories from Cincinnati was our trip to Miss Annabelle's Tea Parlor in Loveland, Ohio. Wendy booked a great lunch there for just us girls. The parlor's walls are covered with hats and boas for you to choose from and the menu was very elegant. We had finger sandwiches, fruit, pastries and a wonderful variety of cold and hot teas. The girls felt like princesses!
