We have a long (and growing) list of places to visit and things to do this year. Some inside, some outside, some at a specific time and some whenever. High up on our list was to go watch the planes take off at the airport for our little "air-pane" obsessed Ben. The suddenly beautiful weather inspired us to take off, leaving all our chores behind for the day, to the airport last week. We watched the airplanes and helicopters for awhile, walked around the little airport, and then ate a picnic lunch in the back of the car with a good view of the sky. Then we hopped on bikes for some serious riding (I bet we went almost 2 miles, which is a very long way for little legs), all still with a brilliant view of the runways.
Both kids were in heaven, but especially Ben. I have never really cared for Cincinnati much, but I would like our kids to feel a little more connected to the place where they grew up, and so many of our activities involve getting to know our closest city a little bit better. The airport visit made me really appreciate that this little gem still exists, and was a totally cost-free day (a bonus!).
Ben never took his eyes off the planes
