We went to the Renaissance Festival and did and saw all kinds of Renaissance-y things.  I swear the Renaissance Festival never changes from year to year, but then, I guess, how much can a festival that represents a very specific time-period change each year?  Still, we always have a good time when we go. This glassmaker [...]


Bored on a Saturday night, Max and I went to get some frozen yogurt at Yagoot.  It’s really yummy, and you can put fruit on your fro-yo so at least you can pretend that it’s really good for you.  The place has a real California-type vibe, which is nice, but we’re in Cincinnati, and although [...]


This little chapel, called Five Mile Chapel,  is tucked in the woods and behind a creek off of Five Mile Road.  It caught my attention one day a while ago, and I finally went down to walk around and take some photos.  For some reason, I really love old stone churches like these- I just [...]

Several photos to post today… Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal Today was the last day of “summer” before school starts, so I decided that we would do something “special,” and my little guy loves the museum- he calls it “Night at the Museum.”  Although he enjoys the Children’s Museum, his favorite is the Natural [...]

Mt. Washington Creamy Whip Tonight was a perfect evening to go out for ice cream, so that’s just what we did!  My personal favorite: Chocolate soft serve with sprinkles on a waffle cone.  It did not disappoint! And for a bit of irony: the parking area at the Creamy Whip place…

It’s one of those places that you just have to know is there, and the first time you see it, it catches you by surprise. It’s just a semi-circle shaped stone structure that overlooks the [...]
