Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Riverwalk Lovers…

I have blogged about the Licking Riverside Historic District with the Mayor before but I have learned many, many times that there is always something new to explore even if you have been there before.  The Licking Riverwalk is in the Historic District of Covington, KY and if you are in this area you really should treat yourself to this wonderful experience.  If you live in this area, make no mistake about it – there is something different every time you visit.  This is a meandering stroll perfect for an afternoon outing.  The streets are tree lined and the sun streams though the leaves making it a perfect setting for professional photographers and bloggers a like.

Here we have old man river…(not Chaps, that guy reading the book;)

As we moved down the paver stone side street, under the shade trees, we came to the center of the statue park.  There is a large fountain and the Mayor had a large drink!

You may be wondering, what Chaps is looking at?  While we were in the center of the park we spotted 3 wedding photographers and 1 baby photographer.  All were coming to record the beauty of their event and the day.  I must say the Mayor looks quite fetching….I also love the park benches.

Here comes one of the brides!

The Mayor, being the dignitary he is, graciously moved from his resting post so the bride could move into position!  We hope her beautiful dress did not drag through the puddles we left behind;)

We offered the Mayor up as best man, but the bride was not amused.  She actually looked scared out of her mind.

Not done exploring the splendor we resting while soaking in the Roebling Suspension Bridge, prototype for the later Brooklyn Bridge.

If you visit walk the entire block and see the large mansions that line the streets.  I thought this was a nice shot of Chaps and his Grandma….

After we wrapped up our tour we headed home to our local pub and enjoyed some refreshments.  It worked out perfect because look where I parked.  I kept the car running with the AC on and the Mayor in the Basset Hauling Vehicle was never out of my sight.  Being the helicopter Mom I am, I even checked on him.

More loving wonderful late summer days later….Cat, Chaps and Emma ATB
