After church, we stopped in to Crave to wish one our favorite bartender’s farewell as he
starts a new adventure with his co-op in Morgantown. We’re gonna miss you, Jeffery!

Good luck with your new adventures. 🙂

Today we went to our Sunday church at GABP to see the Reds take on the Atlanta Braves.


And right off the bat, BARGE!


Former Red, Aaron Harang was on the hill for the Braves…

Bases loaded for the Reds…

Ludwick…

Ludwick sac flied to right to drive in Frazier. Pena singled to drive in Bruuuuce…





The Reds had them loaded again…

For Cozart…

He ground out but Bruuuuce scored. BARGE!!

Later, Frazier added a solo shot!



The Big Pasta threw 7 strong innings of 1 run 5 hit ball…

Enter Jumbo Diaz…

And he got the Redlegs out of the inning…



Cozart went 3-4 with 2 RBI…



The Braves Jason Heyward…

Big Jonathan Broxton…




Oh dear…


Oh dear oh dear…

But Broxton finally got it sorted out to secure the Reds win…







Another great Sunday church at GABP! 🙂

We didn’t do much this evening. The on-again off-again rain showers put the kibosh on
our plans of going down to the Cincy Brew Ha Ha. The Reds game finally started after
about a two hour rain delay…

They finally snapped their seven game losing streak by beating the Braves 1-0! BP singled
in the games only run. And Mike Leake was brilliant on the mound for the Reds. One of the
headlines I saw after the game was pretty cleaver, “Righty plugs Leake in Reds’ sinking ship.”
Hopefully, the Reds will be able to build some momentum and win two in a row when we go to
the Reds game tomorrow. 🙂

When we were walking the dogs through Lytle Park, we saw this lady out walking her cat…


I guess it takes all types to make the world go round. 🙂

It’s a rainy morning in downtown Cincinnati…

Taken with Instagram. 🙂

This evening we cashed in on our EIGHTH free pizza of the season thanks to the Reds
pitchers striking out 11 batters against the Reds Sox last Wednesday, and particular
thanks to Aroldis Chapman, who struck out the side in the ninth to land us on 11 Ks!
Bring on the free LaRosa’s pizzas! We started with some pepperoni Rondos…

I went with sausage again…

And Genifer got another pepperoni pizza…

Free pizza tastes delicious! 🙂

Tonight, we went on our first bike ride together with Genifer’s new bike. We rode along
the Ohio River down to Friendship Park and passed the Castle of Air…

And turned circled around the Crystalline Tower…

And rode back by the boathouse…

Through Sawyer Point and Yeatman’s Cove…

Passed the swings at Smale Riverfront Park…

The Roebling Suspension Bridge…

And Paul Brown Stadium…


I worked on that banner while I was at Fifth Third…

It was really fun to get out and ride bikes again! According to my Runkeeper, we rode about
5.5 miles in a little under an hour. We’re already starting to plan new rides and adventures
on our bikes. 🙂

We noticed one of the Cincy Red Bike racks was in place on Fountain Square…

“Cincy Red Bike is a bike share program. It’s like a taxi or a bus for people looking for
short trips around town. A user will be able to take a bike from one spot and go to
another. Imagine you are in your office downtown and you need to get to a lunch in
Over-the-Rhine. You can ride a bike. Or if you have an early dinner and want to get
to a Reds game. You can ride a bike.”

Just take a bike from one rack, and park it at another. Pretty cool. 🙂

We took advantage of the last day of Downtown Cincinnati Restaurant Week by hitting
up Morton’s Steakhouse. We had a $100 gift card from my PNC Points Credit Card just
sitting there waiting to be used. Seemed to us like the perfect time to use it. A three
course dinner at Morton’s for just $35 each? Heck. Sign us up for that deal. Two please!
Our meal started with this small planet made out of bread…

Genifer had the chopped salad…

I had the caesar…

Look at that delicious filet…

Just a mouth-watering slab of meat.

Genifer’s chosen side was broccoli…

Mine was sour cream mashed potatoes…



I ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert…

And Genifer ordered the Key Lime pie…

She clearly won the dessert round. It was an incredible meal, we were stuffed. And the
best part was, with our gift card all we had to pay for was the tip! You can’t beat that!
We love eating at Morton’s. 🙂

Now that’s a big bell. The World Peace Bell was once the largest bell in the world. 🙂
