Ferry Boat Ride In Cincinnati

Kevin and I felt like getting away for a weekend before I go back to working on saturdays. We left after I got off work on Friday and drove the 2 hours to Cincinnati and stayed in our favorite hotel chain Drury Inn & Suites! We got up early and ate breakfast then got ready and packed a picnic lunch. We were going to go to the museum of art but we left the hotel later than expected. I bought tickets online for the BB Riverboats sightseeing tour and was really excited about it! We didnt know exactly where the port was so we parked at the Newport Mall and walked down to the riverbank. It worked out nice that right outside the port were picnic tables so we ate lunch and enjoyed the view before boarding the Belle of Cincinnati!
What a lovely day!
