Newport, KY

On our stay-cation, we planned to head to Cincinnati for the day.  Gramma Pat was staying with us for a few days after Camden's birthday party.  Then we got news that my Aunt Sharon had died suddenly and unexpectedly.  They lived just outside of Cincinnati.  So Aunt Carole and Uncle Ric decided to come along.  We would spend the day doing a few things around the city then go to the viewing that evening. 

Our first stop was our favorite German restaurant called, Hofbrauhaus.  They had a lunch buffet that we all enjoyed.  It was a great way to sample different wurst, schnitzel, and various sides like German potato salad, homemade sauerkraut, and purple cabbage & apples.  We also shared a sampler appetizer with a German pretzel, potato pancakes with applesauce, and sauerkraut balls.

Camden had a cheeseburger! And a diet coke with lemon just like her Uncle Ric.

After lunch we crossed the street to cross the Purple People Bridge.  It connects Newport with downtown Cincinnati.  It's only for pedestrians and bikers.
