Reunited again

We enjoyed our weekend with Andrew and Sarah. Other than a wedding in September, we had not seen them since Christmas of 2019. It was great to get this trip in before they head out to work at the Olympics in a few weeks. 

It ended up being the vacation of bridges. We met in Cincinnati and walked from there to Covington, KY and back.

Smale Park where Victor was too concerned about

the cicadas to really enjoy himself. After 30 minutes

to work himself up to go into the water (where every drop

on his head was assumed to be a cicada), he lasted about 15 minutes 

before he screamed bloody murder that there was a cicada 

on his shoulder. 

There wasn't.

Peacefully swinging and waiting for our Kentucky kids to arrive

The oldest and youngest reunited for the

first time in 9 months

We found what appears to be the oldest known

statue of a man taking a selfie.

Who knew they had cell phones when

this guy designed the bridge?

The siblings spent the night together watching Star Wars, of course. Not everyone made it til the end.

The next day we walked the bridge from Louisville, KY to Jeffersonville, IN and back.

A rare smile in the midst of thousands of

"There's nothing to doooooooooooo."

Another water park. For some reason, this time

he was not as aware of the cicadas and

certainly not as terrified.

The highlight for all (other than the company) was a visit to the Louisville Slugger Museum where they need to be commended not only for a top-notch museum and tour, but also for their accommodations for the visually impaired. We enjoyed our family's own private, hands-on tour.

One last dinner together, then breakfast in the morning, and we were off for home. A quick trip but a much-needed trip to see Andrew and Sarah. Have a great time in Japan!
