Cincinnati has 2 great art museums (one big, one little), the Underground Railroad Freedom Center, baseball, Union Terminal Museum Center (historical museum in cool art-deco former train station), a great symphony orchestra, a zoo, a suspension bridge that was the precursor of the Brooklyn Bridge. What do you like to see/do? (I feel like there's a zillion things to do, but then, we just moved from a city of 100,000 people.)
We should be free that weekend, if you are child-tolerant (5 and 8 year olds).
If you want to really experience...something...you could go to the Creation Museum near Cincinnati and see people riding Dinosaurs. Just like they did 4000 years ago when they were around.
John Scalzi went to see the Creation Museum.
yeah
A friend, who lives in Louisville, had relatives come to visit with firm plans to visit the museum. I could hear her eyes rolling over the phone.
I don't think it would be responsible of me to expose innocent children to that stuff.
My own kids, on the other hand...
Uh, thanks ND. I'm so glad you're looking out for EXACTLY the kinds of museums I go out of my WAY to search for when I'm traveling.
I will probably end up coming in late Saturday night or first thing Sunday morning. I forgot my mother's birthday is that Friday, and I don't want to shortchange her by leaving 1st thing on Saturday.
flea, I'd love to get together. I am child-tolerant; just had a houseful two Saturdays ago. My god, I was exhausted.
the Creation Museum near Cincinnati
Heh. That was built after we were there, right? Otherwise I'm sure Jim Gage would've had some assignment for us to go there and analyze the lighting. Or help design it.
Yeah, it only opened a few years ago, it wasn't there when we lived in the area.
