As part of my sabbatical this summer, I set out to do as many Cincinnati things as I could with my 2 kids. As I was flipping through the “Adventures around Cincinnati” book, I had marked “Ozo Play Cafe” as one of the places to visit. I particularly liked their philosophy of a place where

I continue to be amazed at Cincinnati’s series of parks! Seriously, they are awesome!. This time we visited Miami Whitewater, a very large park, which included a medium-size lake, a splash pad and playground. People can rent paddle boats and even stand-up paddle boards! There were some small motor water vehicles there but not

One of the places that Dennis and I had considered camping at was Big Bone Lick Park because they had some interesting hiking, a pool and a herd of bison. Since we finally ended up camping somewhere else (Stonelick Park), we decided to go check Big Bone Lick just in case. The park is

The museum discusses the Greater Cincinnati history and has four floors with different areas of focus (rail, industry, rivers, immigrants and tourism). One of the things that attracted me to the museum was the fact that they

Since we had such a great time camping at Lake Kincaid a couple of weeks back, we decided to take advantage of the summer time we have left by going camping again. Before Lake Kincaid, we had come from a long camping hiatus because our last camping experience, while fun, was exhausting. We took SO

Next on our park tour was Winton Woods park. We chose this park because it has a nice big lake that we could use our canoe in AND launch my paddleboard for the first time! The lake in this park is miles better than the lake in Sharon Woods (much larger and also cleaner). The

As part of my “see all the large Cincinnati parks” tour, we decided to visit Glenwood Gardens & Discovery Center. The gardens, while more than 30 minutes from us, were well worth the drive. It is probably the most beautiful and picturesque park we have visited so far. The boys and I went on a hike where
