Day 1 and 2

So far, the trip has been great. The kids aren't complaining, too much, and the aquarium we went to today was pretty cool. It was in Newport KY, which is right across the river from Cincinnati. The whole waterfront area was really neat and the aquarium was surprisingly stocked with cool stuff, including several big sharks we got to watch them feed. It was just like you see on Discovery channel, grabbing the fish and swinging their heads from side to side. Only difference was, the fish were stuck on the ends of poles instead of alive, not exactly wild kingdom in the old days, but pretty cool. We were right in the front, stood there for 20 minutes to be sure we got a good view, but it was worth it.

I saw this bus on the way down. If you see that white patch in front of "Bus," it said "Short." The picture didn't take, but you get the idea. It was full of kids that looked like they understood the "short" thing, but weren't actually in need of the small bus.

I'm also surprised at the number of Hooters down here, the restaurant, not the other things. There were 2 in Cincinnati and 2 more from there to Corbin, KY, where we are now. One of them was on a barge, that looked pretty cool. Marcy thinks I have an unusual fascination with them, and she could be referring to either thing at this point. I guess I just didn't realize there were as many as there are. I figured there was one in each big city and that would be it. Not the case. It appears you need 150 residents to get one. Hope to post again soon.
