Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Weekend Lovers! We had such a good time this weekend. It was Grandma’s birthday and we spent it with Julian! As usual, it’s a non stop party when we have our boy over! I am pretty sure I have blogged about this before, but Cincinnati has the coolest train station I have ever seen. It is called Union Terminal.

I could probably do an entire sub blog category on this magnificant structure. It is one of my favorites places to go in Cincinnati. Several museums are housed in the dome delight and there is also an Omni Max. You can go and spend hundreds of dollars or go and spend a few dollars and have just as much fun!

OK! here is the coolest thing. I have been to Union Terminal hundreds of times but did not know the secret of the water fountains!

See that water fountain tucked in the corner? See that sheet of paper hanging over it? Here is what it says…..Click on the picture to read it.

(Qlso, there just happens to be an ice cream parlor in the picture!) That will loom large later…..

Here is the size of the dome….

You can see the ice cream parlor on the left hand side with that glowing neon light. The other water fountain is on the opposite side.

Julian and Grandma made their way across the rotunda. I actually lost sight of them. I estimated that they should have reached the other side and said, “Anyone for ice cream?” And I heard a big burst of laughter. Julian said, “Chocolate chip cookie doe please!”, and I could hear Grandma laughing. I decided to make another sound, which I think you might guess…

“Ahroooooooooooooooooo……………..!”

Julian and Grandma then started barking as well. I think we know how to make the most of the whisper gallery!

Then to top it off I whispered, “Happy Birthday Grandma!” YES!

It might be my imagination, but our ice cream tasted a bit better than most scoops as we sat in the art deco parlor. This parlor was designed by the famous Rookwood Pottery Company and the detail is a delectable delight all on it’s own.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

More discovering the hidden treasures where you live later…..Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
