A Getaway Trip/Work Trip for Doug

Doug had meetings in Covington, Kentucky and Doug's 
parents offered to watch the kids so I could go too.
We flew out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa and 6:00 AM so
we drove down the night before and stayed with
Doug's neice, her husband, and their new baby.

We went to dinner at a pub right on the Ohio River.
We took a few photos after over the Ohio River.
You can tell how humid it is because Doug's hair just sticks to his forehead!



We flew into Cincinnati the next morning and checked into our hotel.
We stayed right on the Ohio River. 
The main bridge was under construction.
One side of the bridge is Covington, Kentucky and the other side is Cincinnati, Ohio.
We stayed in Kentucky, but you are looking at Cincinnati.

I had good intentions of using the quiet time to finish my 06 blurb book, 
but Doug's meetings and activities kept us quite busy.  
I did get a few months finished though.
We spent one evening cruising the Ohio River on a dinner cruise.
The food was great and the scenery was beautiful.
Our trip ended with an award dinner at the Riverside Aquarium 
where we were able to tour the aquarium after dinner.  
It was closed to the public,but our group was allowed to walk through 
and enjoy our cocktails while doing so.

The kids did really well while we were gone, 
but I am pretty sure they wore out grandma and grandpa.
Thanks again you two!
