Hello All &#33;<br />
<br />
We made it back from Cincinnati in one piece after a near crash. Someone apparently slowed down to the minimum we think (45mph) and stayed in the fast lane. Car after car had to apply the brakes and head for the ditch to avoid the car ahead. Our son, wife and 2 kids were leading our pack so he had to slam on his brakes and our daughter had to turn her van with her 3 kids sideways to avoid him and we had to aim for the ditch to avoid her. Thank God everyone is alright and not one hit due to quick thinking but it sure made my stomach upset for several miles down the road. With kids on board it took us 12 hours to go 8 because we needed to stop, stop stop:)<br />
It only drizzled a little bit at Kings Island so we enjoyed the day and Sunday the weather was great. We went early to secure a spot right between the brigdes on the Kentucky side and a business owner allowed us to prepay him for the evening to park in his lot. He was very nice and thought it was great that we would come all the way from Wisconsin to see the fireworks. He is a &quot;Packer Fan&quot;. He even put a cone in the parking space so no one would take it. We pulled up an hour before the show and walked right to our blankets and chairs. The show was great there were reportedly 500,000 people there and here are a few pictures I took. From reading the posts you would be interested in these Maria&#33;&#33;<br />
