Cincinnati!

Though we spent most of Bruce's week off in between jobs packing, moving, and then unpacking, we've still found time to explore. It helps that Bruce is home before 5pm every day--woohooo! He's scheduled to see his first patient tomorrow. After two weeks of orientation and getting things organized, he's excited to jump in and get down to business. Things will still be a little slow when he's at the Ft. Thomas VA (two days a week) because their new PTSD/TBI program won't start until October at the earliest.

This is the Purple People Bridge with the Cincinnati skyline in the background. This connects Cincinnati with Newport, KY, which is only a few minutes from Ft. Thomas where we live.



Here are some ducks we found on the banks of the river--they really loved the goldfish Alice gave them but got a little too aggressive and started nipping at Myra's toes.



Our trip to the zoo, which both the girls just loved. We bought a membership and hope to go back this week sometime.



A few minutes walk from our house is the Landmark Tree Trail, which is a mile long loop that passes by 14 landmark trees that are over 100 years old. It was pretty steep and narrow in some places--definitely not a trail to take a stroller on. Alice didn't want to give up her spot in the baby backpack though, until she realized that we'd have to turn back if she didn't. She was a real trooper and walked the rest of the way, that last few minutes of it in the pouring rain.

There's also a great playground within walking distance (right behind the Ft. Thomas VA) and a mountain biking trail, that I was really excited about at first, until I read the description online and realized it's very 'technical' and for experienced riders only.
