A few pics of our trip ...

I thought I'd share a few pictures I snapped of our trip to Cincinnati, DC, NYC, Niagara Falls last week. We left on Monday and got back home on Friday. It was a whirlwind trip by car so my parents and aunt could see the country and hit as many states as possible. We probably spent more than 30 hours driving but it was worth it.

Cincinnati, Ohio - Took my folks and aunt to Cinci, an international food store, into Kentucky, a shopping mall and a few other places.

Downtown Cinci

Paddle Steamer

Washington, D.C. - We went to all the traditional attractions like Arlington Cemetary, The White House, The Capitol, etc. and also managed to squeeze in the Air and Space Museum and the Museum of the American Indian. Man did we walk a lot. Also had a few hot dogs with everything on it.

The Washington Memorial reflecting in the Tidal Basin

The Lincoln Memorial

The Washington Monument

The Jefferson Memorial

The Capitol

Arlington Cemetary - My third time here and every time I'm moved ...

Bush's Palace ... uuuhh ... The White House

New York, New York - Manhattan in a day. We took the Staten Island Ferry to get there and back and then got all day bus and subway tickets. It was my first time there as well and I wanted myself, my folks and aunt to experience a taste of everything - walking, bus ride, subway, ferry, the people, food and scenery - it was great!!!

Staten Island Ferry

Statue of Liberty

Manhattan Island, New York

Work at Ground Zero

And for the ladies ... the Manhattan Mall

Empire State building

Times Square

Central Park

Jaden on my back dressed warmly for the ferry trip back to Staten Island from Manhattan

Niagara Falls, New York - we also crossed over into Canada for a few moments. As always this was awesome. My aunt and parents were speechless and rightly so. We made the trip up stream to Horseshoe Falls on the Maid of the Mist and as soon as the first spray hit little Jaden she started crying and did not stop until we were halfway back to shore - shame!

God bless America

It was a great trip and I highly recommend it to those who haven't been to these places.

America is a beautiful country. Be proud of it and fight to keep it this way.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us, Bogey. Your daughter is a real doll baby (I'm assuming Jaden is a girl's name).

Great stuff DB - your daughter is a cutie. Looks like you had a great trip - next time, stop in Pittsburgh. Wink

I've been in the trade center buildings 5 or 6 times and it's still hard to believe those massive buildings are gone. Sad

Very nice pictures, DB7! I went to all of these places myself over the past two years, except for Niagara Falls. That is why I probably missed these three girls.... Wink

Looks like you had a great trip! Thanks for sharing!
