West Chester, Ohio

WOW!
It is difficult to believe that we were only with Tony and Charles for a few days; we did so much!

During the "doing", Matthew and I had time to reconnect with Tony.  He and I have been friends for almost 21 years...I love you, Tony!  Now, Charles, he is a new friend.  That means he has a special place in our hearts.  It was wonderful to get to know you, Charles.  We love you too!!!
Thank you both for everything!  Next time, if you'll have us, we will stay longer!  Heck, maybe you two can meet up with us and hang-out!  (I promise to be close to a hotel, Tony!)

The eternal flame...Looking across the Ohio River--Kentucky (slave state)/Ohio (free state)

Overlooking the street

The Mushroom House--WAY COOL!  Practical...well, no.

Jungle Jim's International Market--An amazing grocery store on steroids!!! Fun animated "creatures"....

Overwhelming numbers of choices....

An aisle of cheeses

Aisles of wine and beer

(The most I have seen ANYWHERE!)

A googolplex of hot sauces!

AWESOME bathrooms...

(It may look like an outhouse, but it seats at least 10...smiles!)

These bathrooms were featured in many news broadcasts across the states.  Jungle Jim's johns won America's most unique bathrooms!  

Cincinnati's skyline

The Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal

 We were fortunate to see the Diana exhibit...Cincinnati was the final city in the tour.   It was a beautiful and informative exhibit--information and items from her childhood; Diana's wedding dress and many dresses/outfits she wore both during her time with the royal family and after "The" divorce; and items, speeches, and photos from her funeral.

Tony, Charles, Kookie (dog), and Mystic (cat)

Thank you for sharing your time with us!  Love you both oodles!
