Last week I had a work trip to Cincinnati for a few days and since I was in the area Mom and Dad drove down to spend the day. We had a great time seeing the sights of the Queen City and listening to Dad's memories of life in Cincy in the 50s.
We had a great lunch at Mecklenburg Gardens, the oldest restaurant in Cincinnati, founded in 1865. Dads great (great) uncle George Operated this place from ~1930 - 1950 and has an authentic German Beer hall. We also stopped by the house my great grandfather lived in as a child, just south of the University.
We also walked along the river front and over the Roebling Suspension bridge into KY. This bridge was used as the prototype for the Brooklyn bridge.
The kids have had fun with summer friends and sleep overs.
The girls also spent a fun week in Phoenix sans parents - and like I say, what happens in Phoenix stays in Phoenix.
For her Birthday, Darcy tried her hand at surfing with Jody and some friends. Surfs up!!
Well that is the late summer update. School starts in a week........
