FORT CHISWELL, VIRGINIA....ALMOST HEAVEN- CHARLESTON WEST VIRGINIA...CINCINNATI

Above, we went on another bike ride, this time it was from Fort Chiswell, Virginia area.  Great rails to trails path along a river, with tunnels through mountains, called  the NEW RIVER TRAIL- misnomer though as this river is actually one of the OLDEST on the planet!  Emma in and out of hospital with RSV, and pneumonia during these couple of days.... Below we went to the Charleston VA state capitol gold topped building and the Virginia State Capitol museum.... Ilea got to reminisce about her days at the phone company cord board... and while in Cincinnati we went on a boat trip along the Ohio River (which actually left from the KENTUCKY side of the river, had some Saurkraut Balls at the Golden Lamb, visited the Fort Ancient Indian site-(where we had a stare down with Bambi) and  also visited with niece Madison and her family, including Ilea's brother George and wife Colleen.



Witnessed the annual PRIDE PARADE in downtown Cincinnati, and did our fair share of biking along numerous pathways... worked up an appetite for famous Cincinnati Skyline Chili.

Walked the PURPLE PEOPLE BRIDGE from Kentucky to Ohio...










FREE BEER!!
