Riding on the Duck

Steph asked whether Nora was scared riding the Duck. That would be a "no." She wanted her own seat, which was fine since there were only three families. We learned that the Duck wheels don't retract when it goes in the water. Interesting. We cruised by the Great American Ball Park,


the beautiful mansions in Covington, (Nora listened carefully when the guide talked about how the Boy Scout founder used to live in one. She may have been hoping for a mention of the Girl Scouts too. I told her that when her mom and dad got married they had their wedding pictures taken there.)

the blue and white Ascent in Covington, (some people like it, some don't.)

and we went under the Roebling Bridge, usually known to Nora as the Singing Bridge.

We learned that the new building with the tiara (right) isn't actually as high as the older Carew Tower (left) even though it has more floors. The Carew Tower is on a higher elevation.

Today it's windy and chilly - hard to believe that two days ago we had this adventure.
