Hidden Treasures in Hyde Park and Loveland, Ohio

Hyde Park is an upscale, trendy and centrally located town a few miles from Downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.  A few days ago, I was shopping in the area and took a few photographs.

The Enchanted Forest at the Krohn Conservatory (Part II)

Hopefully, you read Park I of my Enchanted Forest at the Krohn Conservatory yesterday.  If not, you can read it here.  I like being a Tourist in my own City!

The Waterfall at the Krohn Conservatory is lovely!  I fooled around with the Aperture and was able to get that silky effect.  It’s on my “to-do list” to learn more about my camera!

The Enchanted Forest is one of the many amazing events and displays that the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, Ohio hosts.  Yesterday, my friend Gina and I were definitely enchanted with their forest!  As a Tourist in my City…it’s fun to find inexpensive ($3.00), yet really cool things to do!

Thurman’s Cafe in Columbus, Ohio

 

My annual Girl’s Weekend was in Columbus, Ohio this year.  It’s only one and one-half  hours drive there from Cincinnati, but I had a great time…as usual!  For the past five years we’ve been going to Cities…Nashville, Indianapolis, Louisville, and Lexington!  Anyway, this Cafe was made famous on the travel channel show–“Man vs. Food“.  They’re known for their huge hamburgers!

Every square inch of the interior was filled with an interesting mix of signs, games, art, and photos!

The four of us split two burgers and they were deeelicious!

We stayed at “The Residence Inn by Marriott” in a two bedroom suite in the heart of downtown and loved it!

The decor was modern, stylish and functional…

Although we only used the kitchen to make coffee and to make sandwiches for lunch one day, it’s nice to have!

Let the games begin!!
