Last week Amy Q. and I took the kids to Woodland Mound to visit Parky’s Wetland Adventure. It has been one HOT HOT HOT summer, and while Amy Q. and I fortunately both have pools we can take our children too, we were looking for a new adventure for them. Woodland Mound was about a… [read more]
Rough River Dam State Park, Kentucky
Sometimes a big summer vacation is just not in the cards for my family of six. Trips to the beach are lots of fun, but can be quite expensive. We spend most of our summers having adventures around Cincy & Northern Kentucky (see our summer bucket list on my blog), but each year I plan… [read more]
