Yep, it's a Cemetery.

Oh, let me tell you what a wonderful day we had.  Jeff and I had a day alone, with no plans.  We threw around a bunch of ideas and finally settled on a plan.  It's been a while since we've taken off with my camera for the day, so that won.  Now, where to go?  On my short list of places to visit in Cincinnati was Spring Grove Cemetery.  Yes, it's a cemetery but it's one like no other.  Just the history of the place makes your head spin.  It is the home to the Proctor Family, The Gamble Family and The Kroger Family, just to name a few.  There is also a Civil War area, dozens of amazing mausoleums and some of the most stunning architecture that I've ever seen.  Most of the buildings date back to the mid to late 1800's.  In short, it's beautiful!  And now that I've been there once, you can be sure that it'll be on my short list of places to visit again and again.  I'm sure we only covered a fraction of it!  Here are some of my favorites from the day....
