{Iconic Cincinnati Tour}

What do you get a man who has everything? A tour of the city he adores.....
Thanks to the fine folks at American Legacy Tours for such a fun and very different Father's Day gift!

Cincinnati is the lucky host of the 2012 World Choir Games which we are really excited to be a part of and know it will boost the economy here in The Queen City. There is a huge counter on the Square that serves as the countdown tracker.

Genius of Water

The tour started on Fountain Square where we were given a history lesson of the fountain, when and how it was purchased...a bit scandalous if you ask me.  

A view of Carew Tower from The Square where we will end our tour.

A poem for the city...

The P&G Towers also known as "Dolly Parton Towers" A marketing mecca and the birthplace of IVORY soap aka "the soap that floats."

One of Scott's favorite parts of the tour was getting a chance to go into the Cincinnati Masonic Center. What a beautiful building and as we were informed, no one can put a price on it. Everything was built by the Masons by hand and boy the details of this place are spectacular. What a historical site. Everytime we would pass it Scott would always be in awe, saying, "I want to go in there one day."

City Hall



Fun Fact: The Great American Tower is the tallest building in Cincy at 660 feet. What makes it the tallest is the large crown that was placed on top as a ode to Princess Diana just fitting for The Queen City.

Scott truly enjoyed himself. We had an amazing tour and can't wait to try another one. 
I heard the Underground Tour is amazing.

We LOVE Cincinnati!

Relationship: Sushi Time at Sushi Bears

With two boys who have very busy social schedules, on top of their schooling and our work schedules, Scott and I make it a point to take time out for just the two of us to connect. We love any opportunity to try something new in the city in our city!

We lucked out awhile ago and purchased a Groupon to take a sushi rolling class down at the historic (and of course one of my favorite places in the city) Findlay Market. Sushi Bears offers couple and group sushi and Indian cuisine classes. We had such a great time and Chef Dan had a wealth of knowledge.

Soon I hope to have a sushi party at our house with some friends and some wine!!







What do you like to do in your city to escape busy schedules?

Peace and Blessings,

Too Tipsy for LOVE: The KY Bourbon Trail in Pictures

The hubby and I took a two day hiatus from our very busy lives to spend time together and reconnect (blushing) and to celebrate our birthdays together. Anyways we wanted to do something that was different, close to Cincinnati and inexpensive. We headed about 100 miles south to a little town right outside of Lexington, KY called Versailles. What a beautiful place. We lucked out (through the LivingSocial coupon gods) on a two night stay at this wonderful BnB! The distillery tours were free and at the end of each one you got free samples (shots) of bourbon and some delectable bourbon ball truffles!!!

We spent one whole day on the bourbon trails and oh what fun!

Here is our trip in pictures.



























On our final day we went to Keeneland Race Track to see the horses warm it!
They are such beautiful creatures!

We had such a fun experience and it was the perfect getaway for the two of us! I recommend doing the bourbon trail if you are ever in the area!

Happy Traveling
