About this Blog

I used try to limit entries in this blog to boating related actives and overall things kind of moved to Facebook. Now back here after selling Degae, but continuing to travel. Stay tuned.

Cincinnati - Louisville - Part 3

Barb and I were up early this morning and able to catch a spectacular sunrise after which we went on a walk to a local coffee shop and then back to the boat for some phone calls and emails.

We then joined Dan and Jenny to return to the  Falls of the Ohio Discovery Center that had been closed on Sunday.   Prior to 1927, there was no dam or locks, so when the river was high enough a beautiful falls existed here.

Play Ball!  A visit to the Lousiville Slugger museum was well worth the stop and included a factory tour.

The day ended with a visit to one of the oldest continually operated family run confectioner in the US (http://www.schimpffs.com) and dinner at Vincenzo's, a very nice upscale Italian restaurant (http://www.vincenzositalianrestaurant.com/).

The return portion of the trip included an overnight at Smugglers Cove, 70 miles from Louisville and 67 miles from the Ohio River Launch Club.
