We stayed at Winton Woods campground in Cincinnati. It is a very nice county park with many activities available. This is the site we were in. You can see the lake behind our trailer. It is the light brown spot near the center at the base of the trees in the photo on the right.
We spent the day checking out our old haunts in the Ludlow and Covington, KY area. Flowers were placed on the grave of Earl’s parents as Memorial Day is coming. The Forest Lawn Cemetery is beautiful and peaceful. His parents’ grave is located on a hill overlooking a pond that was inhabited by some ducks. Spring is just beginning in this area.
While we were driving on the back roads, we passed a bridge, part of someone’s driveway, that crosses over a stream. When we were dating, years ago, we passed this bridge often. It is more overgrown than then, but still interesting. We had the opportunity to purchase a painting of this bridge, back then, but it was too expensive for our college budget. Our loss.
Covington is a diverse city. There are many restored historic homes in the Licking Riverside Historic District. This one, on the left, is currently a lawyer’s office. Then there is the ultra modern Ascent Condominiums located near the Convention Center.
We both graduated from the University of Cincinnati. We did not go over to the University on this trip, but here is a photo of the Ohio River with Cincinnati, OH on the left and Covington, KY on the right and foreground.
There is a park along the river, on the KY side, where we took some pictures of the Cincinnati skyline, including the river front stadium.
The other thing that we did today was to go to dinner at one of our favorite places from college days, Frisch's Big Boy. It brought back some good memories.
