Four years ago today was my very first date with Genifer. We went to a Reds game on our first date.


And since that day, it’s been the best four years of my life. Here’s to many, many more
years to come! I love you so very much, baby! 🙂

After of sixth Reds game of the season, we stopped in a Moerlein Lager House for one of their delicious Strawberry Pig Cream Ales…

Then we swung through Top of the Park for more sunshine and the beautiful views…






And then finally through Yeatman’s Cove for the first Party in the Park of the season…





Now that was a fun Wednesday! 🙂

Our first Wednesday afternoon Reds game of the season…


Michael Lorenzen was making his first big league start for the Reds…

He gave up 3 runs, 8 hits over 5 innings. Not too shabby for his first start.


And we made our first trip to the new Frybox…

For Buffalo Chicken Fries…

Pretty tasty stuff. Jumbo Diaz entered the game…

Jumbo gave 5 runs in the eighth, including a grand slam to Ryan Braun.

Here’s the Braun home run ball that was thrown back…

And the Reds would go on to lose 8-3.

But we did get another free pizza!

Christian Moerlein’s Strawberry Pig Cream Ale is really good stuff! 🙂

We went over to Genifer’s nephew’s birthday celebration over on “The Westside.”

Happy birthday, Aiden! 🙂

Today was a rainy one in downtown Cincinnati. Today’s Reds versus Cubs game was supposed to be a 1:10pm first pitch. But with all the rain, it got pushed back to 4:35pm…




And then the game was called 20 minutes after we got to the ballpark…



I guess we’ll be seeing game 5 of 40 at a yet to be determined future date.

While we were waiting for the Reds game to start due to yet another rain delay, we stopped in to Pi Pizzeria again for some more of their incredible blazed wings…

And then we shared The Maplewood pie…

Delicious stuff. 🙂

Today, Deskey had a team building event at Keeneland Thoroughbred Racing Track all the way down in the heart of horse, country Lexington, Kentucky.

And I ended up coming home with $30 more than I left home with. It was a pretty fun way to spend a Friday. Click to see all the photos I took during Deskey’s visit to Keeneland. 🙂

We had tickets to see The Lion King again at the Aronoff Center tonight…






We thought tonight’s show was even better than the first performance of The Lion King we saw on opening night at the Aronoff Center, if that’s even possible. Both shows were pretty darn incredible! This show was made extra special because we were sitting on the right on the aisle where all the performers walked down through the audience. 🙂

We saw our first Newport Ride the Ducks duck boat of the season today…


Maybe this will be the summer we finally Ride the Ducks. 🙂
