Cincinnati- Cruise and Zoo- September 23rd and 24th, 2011



On 23rd (Friday) Daddy had work at an office located in Erlanger, KY about 60 miles distance from home. Since he had to go so far, we planned to visit Cincinnati downtown which is close to that office and spend the weekend there. We booked a hotel room for the night stay on Friday, so that we could spend the whole Saturday visiting good attractions at Cincinnati. So got ready early that morning and all of us started to that place. Daddy dropped Mom and me in Florence mall, a huge mall close to his office and he left to office. We spent the day shopping at the mall.

After Dad's work, he came to the mall to pick us up. Then we went to a boat/ cruise harbor on the banks of the river located across the border of Kentucky and Ohio states. We went there to find out tickets and timings availability for a trip on the cruise. Luckily there were tickets available right then for the dinner cruise which was about to begin in a quiet short time.  We bought the tickets for the cruise which was for two and a half hours up and down the river, around a 6 mile in total. It was a slow drive in the boat. It was a nice trip, good scenery and a lot of bright lights as it turned dark in the night. It was really chill with a cold breeze passing by.

The next day (Saturday) we planned to go to a Zoo, it is in Cincinnati, Ohio, only a few miles from the hotel and the river. We spent an entire day at the Zoo. There were a lot of exciting things at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical garden. It was a huge Zoo with a lot of trails and paths leading to various animals, birds and insects reserve spots. There were safari rides- trolley (Bus rides) and trams, running through the Zoo. We traveled on them and visited almost the entire Zoo. Apart from this we also saw a 4D movie. Yes, not 3D, it’s 4D!  It was "Wizard of the Oz" story.  It was a nice experience. As you know a 3D movie, we had those goggles plus a feel of reality of the story around. My seat rocked, vibrated and water was really sprayed. There was a scented smell in the theater. Bubbles flew around. They took us into the movie. We could feel the movements of things happening. It was funny and exiting. The first time I heard of and watched a 4D movie.

That day evening we started back home and reached in the night.
