We are pointed north to Lakeside Ohio for our last summer hoorah. I showed pictures in a previous post of Lakeside when we went for a week in June. We are going for the closing Labor Day weekend and so excited. My husband grew up here and loves to go home. It is the first Labor Day weekend my husband has been able to get away since 1987. He retired this May as a Sgt. First Class in one of our local police departments. We have a very crazy busy event called the WEBN fireworks. They are watched on boths sides of the river in Cincinnati, Ohio, Newport and Covington Kentucky. My husband was a police officer in Newport, Ky which is an urban area and very challenging. On the night of the fireworks they all MUST work 12 hours or more and it is nuts. I could tell you some stories:)
So this year he won't be working, instead he will be kicking back at the lake. I am so excited for him!
The cottage where we will be hanging out~~

I'm happy for him too. My husband was on the police force for many years & SWAT. For years, every holiday was interrupted because of something... Now he's on the training side of Law Enforcement & his our are a little better when he's not traveling. Have a good weekend!! :) xoxo, Joanna
