I found a deal on Priceline.com for $67 at the Radisson on […]

We got to […]

The splash park is a pretty typical set up, with 26 splash features on 2200 square feet of concrete. It sits […]

Allison was given a pizza voucher for purpose of review. My family and I had the opportunity to give Blaze Fire’d Pizza a try, in fact we ventured in on Father’s day.

My 2 1/2 year old was beside himself with excitement and couldn’t wait till we “found Thomas.” First we had to make the drive from Louisville to New Haven, KY, just […]

This is an old post and this business has new ownership and they no longer rent bicycles. “I feel like a kid again!” These were the words of my 6’6” 200+ pound husband as he bicycled along the Ohio River Greenway with our two year old daughter strapped in a child carrier seat on the back of his aqua and white […]
