A month late, but better late than never!
For Earl's birthday we sent the kids to school, took personal days for ourselves, and headed to Cincinnati to enjoy a day in the city.
Our first stop was Union Terminal, the Cincinnati Musem Center.
The beautiful fountains out front were still closed for the winter, but the view was still impressive
We visited the Pompei exhibit and were mostly impressed with the body casts. So eerie!
Our second stop was Krohn Conservatory in Eden Park.
I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. The spring flowers were in full bloom, and it was incredibly peaceful just to sit and soak up the sun in their solariums.
There were several different "rooms" to wander through. A few were tropical with rainforest plants and even a waterfall, one with succulants, an orchid room, the spring display, and a bonsai room. In late April there will be a butterfly display....and we will be back!
After a scrumptious lunch at Mt Adams Bar and Grill (fascinating history in this place!) we climbed the Mt Adams steps to an old catholic church with a great view of the city!
We ended the day in Covington with a quick stop at the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption. This church, called "the Notre Dame of Kentucky" is known for its astounding architecture.
Pictures to come later....
