I love living at a faster pace, but every now and then it’s good to experience the other extreme of simpler times. Rabbit Hash is a perfect destination for a Sunday drive. It is a popular destination for motorcyclists because of the winding roads that take you on roller coaster roads minus the tracks. Rabbit Hash, KY is located about 45 minutes away from downtown Cincinnati.
I recently attended a blogger event where I got to preview the play “The 39 Steps” at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company for a blogger event. “The 39 Steps” is adapted by Patrick Barlow, from the novel by John Buchan, from the movie of Alfred Hitchcock.
I was not familar with the play, but was pleasantly surprised by how funny it was! I mean BIG SMILES and LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY!!!!!
I’m going to start with a confession. I don’t enjoy cooking unless it’s social or has a theme to inspire. Unfortunately, thinking of what to cook everyday is not festive enough for me to get inspired……but a cooking class that is social and is an excuse to try something new ……..is the perfect way to consider maybe wanting to cook a few more meals in the future. This is where Chef Dan comes in.
Do you ever go on adventures solo? I decided to take advantage of my husband and boys spending the afternoon watching football to sneak away for a few hours to explore the Taft Museum of Art. I understand that we won’t always want to try the same things all the time. One of my friends couldn’t make it due to working later so I went to my adventure destination anyway.
I recently went to the opening reception for the exhibit “Pulp Art”.
Pulp Art is an incredible display of 11 artists creative expressions using paper.
The building alone is a piece of art .
The center also offers affordable art classes for kids.
Several of the works by kids in the program are showcased in the exhibit.
These students could be doing their own show one day. It was really great to meet some of the younger artists who got to tell us about their piece.
I had to snap a picture of the wall even though it wasn’t a piece. I just like exposed brick..
Don’t miss your chance to check out some incredible art!
Pulp Art is an exhibit currently showing from Jan. 11 – Feb. 15 at the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington, Ky.
You can learn more about the show from their website.
There is FREE public admission during regular gallery hours: Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm and Saturday, 12pm to 3pm.
This Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center is located at 1028 Scott Boulevard, Covington, KY 41011.
Disclosure: I did receive complimentary admission to the opening. All opinions are my own. I just really love art!
I’ve been zipling several times before but my most recent zipling experience takes the prize. My family and I went on a zipline tour at Adventureworks. Adventureworks is located about 30 minutes outside of Nashville and is tucked away near the Narrows of the Harpeth State Park.
I made a quick trip to Grand Rapids to take in the sites of Art Prize. I enjoyed the event so much while living in Grand Rapids for the last 2 years, that I had to come back and see what the artist would come up with this year. The boys and I joined the Grkids.com team on the Art Prize trolley that made strategic stops all over the downtown .
My first mud race was back in ’96 during the first week of college. Little did I know that I would be joining two friends from college in another mud race 16 years later.
