Cincinnati, Day One

For our 2nd Anniversary (10/14), we went for a mini-vacation to Cincinnati, OH. We spent 3 days exploring this neat little midwest city. Actually, we spent quite a bit of time across the river in Kentucky, but still got to show Camden what Cincinnati had to offer.

We visited the waterfront to see the riverboats and Cincinnati skyline.

We ate dinner at the Hofbrauhaus restaurant. This Newport, KY location was the first authentic hofbrauhaus (brew house) in America. We went early and missed the nightly entertainment, but we loved the atmosphere and the delicious German fare.




We walked off some of the food and did some shopping at a large outdoor mall after dinner, then topped off the evening with a bowl of local specialty (and Oprah favorite), Graeter's ice cream. We enjoyed the original black raspberry chip & coconut chip flavors. Camden was too tired from the day and decided to nap instead.

Finally, we headed back to the hotel for a dip in the pool. Camden thought that was too much like a bath and protested just a little...

With lots of driving, walking, and getting in and out of the stroller, we didn't last long. Camden seemed to really appreciate being wrapped in her blanket back in the room. It had been a good, but long day!
