A Thank You and what we did on our holiday vacation!

First, I'd like to thank all of you who popped in and gave me encouragement and suggestions about my little 'identity crisis' in the last post. I am so lucky to have some terrific blogpals.

I know it's the middle of January, but we had so much fun on our Christmas/New Year Holiday that I thought you might enjoy a peek at two places we got to visit.

Today we'll visit the Taft Museum, located in downtown Cincinnati.

 According to the website,'The Baum-Longworth-Sinton-Taft House, a National Historic Landmark built about 1820 for Martin Baum, is the oldest domestic wooden structure in situ locally and is considered one of the finest examples of Federal architecture in the Palladian style in the country.' It is filled with art, period furnishing and decor, and collections of the Taft Family. For more info about the Taft Museum of Art click this link
From Nov. 5, 2010 to Jan. 9, 2011 they hold an Antique Christmas Exhibition. I'll be quiet know. The pictures speak for themselves...................................................................................................................
