July 31, 201214 yr Author Nash-Vegas is awesome, but not the same with your 11 year old.......Yeah, we love it down there...but 11 year olds and Nashville after dark don't mix...and face it if your not going for after dark, not a lot a reason to go...
July 31, 201214 yr When did Larry Legend join BGP? It's actually A the Awesome....thank you very much.
August 1, 201214 yr Breaks Interstate Park (State Park owned and managed by Kentucky AND Virginia.) Clifty Falls State Park (Great "casual hiking" park just outside of Madison, IN - just across the Ohio River from Carrolton, KY) Mammoth Cave is fantastic... Heuston Woods (Go stay in a yurt). It's close enough to Cincy that the Reds game is an option. The Glier's Goetta Fest is also this weekend on the Newport Riverfront. Just figured I'd mention that... Clifty Falls in not across the Ohio River from Carrollton. You would travel west from Carrollton, though Milton, KY, then to Madison, IN, where Clifty Falls in located.
August 1, 201214 yr Clifty Falls in not across the Ohio River from Carrollton. You would travel west from Carrollton, though Milton, KY, then to Madison, IN, where Clifty Falls in located. You're right...I was generalizing a bit. Probably 15 or 20 miles from downtown Carrollton, you think?
August 1, 201214 yr Obviously missing the point that you have an "inside source". Didn't want to assume. Jumper_dad I'd follow up with RM on this. That place is great. And something for all.
August 1, 201214 yr I forgot to mention that you would be within a 30 minute drive of historic Madison, IN. Main street has many, many nice shops, there is an antebellum mansion on the river and it's on the way to that favorite tearoom/winery that I told you about! And home to Hinkles, which won a hamburger competition. You can take a quick trip up to Hanover College and hike its trails. I say just go to the Gorge and get a cabin.
August 1, 201214 yr Author Thanks for all of the great ideas...really like to do French Lick, but without the kids!!! Setting that aside for anniversary in March. Holiday World and Stone Mt Georgia at the top of our current list...btw if we go to SMG, I get a side trip to the Varsity in downtown Atlanta.
August 5, 201214 yr Author Ended up going to Atlanta and Stone Mt. Got a side trip in to The Varsity on Friday and stopped at The Cheescake Factory in Dunwoody Ga on the way home. Stone Mt very family friendly, several family reunions going on this weekend according to the matching t-shirts worn by several groups. Laser and Fireworks show was pretty good, but the highlight was actually going to the top of Stone Mt and having the Atlanta skyline as a backdrop. For those of you that enjoy hiking, you can hike to the top. About 1 and 1/2 miles with an elevation change of about 900ft...I took the skylift!!!

It has been awhile since I have had a chili dog and some onion rings from The Varsity. I need to get back to Atlanta.
August 6, 201214 yr Author It has been awhile since I have had a chili dog and some onion rings from The Varsity. I need to get back to Atlanta. It had been 27 years since I had been there...but it was still very good!
April 29, 201412 yr Anyone going anywhere over Memorial Day weekend? We hadn't really been considering anything until my wife suggested it last night. Kind of mulling over the possibility any thinking over destination ideas.
April 29, 201412 yr Lots of places. One of our favorite getaways is Chagrin Falls, Oh. It is near Cleveland and has a small village feel to eat. Lots of mom and pop types of shops, very good restaurants, beautiful setting with the falls. We stay at the Inn at Chagrin Falls, park the car and walk everywhere. Very relaxing couple of days. If you are there a few days, you can take a 45 minute drive to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame or Cleveland sites.
April 29, 201412 yr Anyone going anywhere over Memorial Day weekend? We hadn't really been considering anything until my wife suggested it last night. Kind of mulling over the possibility any thinking over destination ideas. I'm going to St. Louis with five other dudes to drink beer and watch baseball... but since your wife asked, I assume that's not in the cards. I'll keep thinking.
April 29, 201412 yr Not sure how the weather this week will effect it, but what about white water rafting in West Virginia?
