My Honey and I took a field trip to Newport, Kentucky lately. The image above was taken as we were passing downtown Cincinnati. The twin buildings on the right are the world headquarters of Procter and Gamble.
We went to the Aquarium on a week day thinking it wouldn't be too crowded, but we were wrong. There were plenty of kids and a little too often one or two managed to run over and knock on the glass (as we wanted to yell, "No, don't do that!" and their parents just ignored them) just as we were setting up our camera shots. Kids are so cute. ;)
We did get plenty of good pictures of gorgeous aquatic life; I'll share more of them here from time to time.
I hope you enjoyed this part of our field trip. It is so much fun to be a tourist. :))
Best,
Lois

Nice post. I often wonder how many neat places I pass by as I drive South each year. But my goal on those trips is to get from Point A to Point B in the least amount of time. Getting from one state line to the next is a milestone!
I enjoyed this very much and your photos...I like how you get to see the world and never have to leave your home to do it.
What a great place to visit! A friend of ours who lives in Cincy has a bar there somewhere - don't remember the name. It's a pretty place and I enjoyed the photos. How nice to have an Acquarium so close!...debbie
Hi Lois...did you make bread before you left...hahaha! couldn't help but tease!!
Nice day trip and so interesting.
We don't have much around here like that.
Thanks for sharing!!
I just love road trip posts and aquarium posts and so yours is a double bonus for me.
Newport looks like a nice place.
I envy you....all the places you go! What a nice treat this trip was. Thanks for your great photos.
my granddaughter, Audrey, and her mom were at the Newport Aquarium and brought me a postcard featuring a shark. It must be nice in Newport nowadays. My memories are from the days when it was hillbilly heaven. My parents had relatives from "Virginia who sometimes went there to visit their relatives."
Your photos are sparkling.
Aquariums are always so interesting to visit. I look forward to seeing your photos.
I enjoyed this post very much, I felt almost as if I were there via your beautiful photos! I will look forward to seeing more.
The turtle shell is gorgeous...The turtles i find on my walks here, always look dusty and dull...maybe I should rinse them before taking their photos this summer.
Good morning,
As a matter of fact, grammie g, I did make bread that day. ;) If we are staying home, I make it in the morning. If we are out during the day, I make it in the evening for the next morning.
Yes, Abe, Newport is very nice. Those of us old enough to remember the Newport of old, have very different memories of the place.
Thank you so very much, everyone, for stopping by and your kind comments.
Very best,
Lois
Lois, getting away for a day trip during the week is great and we do it as often as possible. There's an aquarium in Virginia Beach which we visited last year n Grenville's birthday!
Gorgeous captures!
Reflection for watery Wednesday.
Wonderful cityscapes... love the swordfish statue...
I love aquariums!!! They're so educational and fun to peruse.
Great photos.

Hi,
Your photos and story are so neat. We live in Oregon and have an aquarium in Oregon's town of Newport too.
Sometimes when I have tons of photos of one trip, I put them into a slide show (I use Slide.com just because it is free and easy), and then include them add that to post.
Thanks for sharing your Watery Wednesday photos!

It looks like y'all had a fun trip! Cincinnati is a lovely city.
Thanks for sharing these. I hope I get a chance to see the others. Now I want to go to the aquarium here.
:-)
