I felt like a tourist!!!


In all actuality, Cincinnati is a pretty cool town! Growing up my silly momma always made it seem like anything across the river was foreign territory!  The plus side to this is there are countless things for the three of us to do!  For this entire week we have forfeited alarm clocks, and well...it's heavenly!  We started out at Khron's Conservatory in Eden Park...beautiful, and totally free!!! I like free!!!! Only downside...it was blazing, especially in that cactus room, go figure!!!



He wont look at the camera for nothin'!

He was mesmerized!!

Cacti....;-p
I like these!

It was so pretty here!

Those leaves were huge, like bigger than us huge!!
After the conservatory we headed over to Carew tower, the tallest building in Cincinnati (maybe! That's up for debate right now, although I really could care less!)  We tripsed all over that tower place mall, in and out of hotels, ritzy hotels, not like the holiday inns we're accustomed too! It was pretty funny b/c people were so friendly, and held open doors, and went out of their way for us becuase they thought we were staying at the hotel!  Finally we found the elevator that would take us up 49 floors to the observation deck!!! This was seriously worth the $2.00 they charged us!  Here are some shots we got....
Daddy and Jamison!

He kept going to this and saying "ride"! I'm not sure what he thought it was gonna do!
Suspension Bridge!
Me and the bayba Lump!
Union Terminal, I can't help but think of Girl Scouts everytime I see this, and the 8 Hellacious hours we spent here waiting for a train to take us to Washinton D.C....Good Times, Good Times!!!


Finally we took a ride on the Newport Ducks tour! Fun times!  Especially the duck bill 'quackers' we got to take with us!! That'll be super awesome when Jamison actually figrues it out...AHHhHH!!!  This was really neat, although Jamison was a total wild child on the entire trip, he was having one of his "moments" and refused to listen to anything or anyone!! We were definately ready to get off when the tour ended!!





Getting ready to Splash Down into the Ohio River!
Trying his hardest to figure that thing out!
Daddy and Jamison "Quacking"!


This week has been awesome so far, I really didn't think having a vacation at home would very exciting, but I can say we've all genuinely enjoyed ourselves!  On a total side note, this Pineapple Smirnoff i'm drinking is a big Tumbs DOWN! Never again!
