As is tradition for us after Tunes&Blooms and really just on Thursday evenings,
in general, we headed to Arnold’s for a nice bite to eat.


Mmmm… Slider burger…


Arnold’s is always a great way to end an evening. 🙂

Tonight was the final Tunes&Blooms of the season at the zoo. So much fun. We made
it out to three of the four Tunes&Blooms this year. And that’s not too bad. At all.
Tonight’s performances were provided by Jake Speed and The Freddies and The Turkeys.






There was a food truck we’d never seen before at the zoo!




I think this Tunes&Blooms had the most people of any of them because it was packed.
But it’s such a fun event that the Zoo puts on. We can’t wait for more Tunes&Blooms
next year! Click here and here to see the other Tunes&Blooms we went to this year.

To celebrate our two year anniversary, we went to Jimmy G’s Steakhouse. We’ve been
wanting to eat there for a while now. But couldn’t find any occasion that seemed fitting
for what I’ve heard are some pretty incredible steaks.





We both got the Filet Mignon…


And shared the deliciously cheesy Potatoes Aligot…

And they gave us an amazing little creme brulee for our anniversary…

I tell you what, that was the best steak I’ve had in my entire life. We both agree… We
can’t get back to Jimmy G’s soon enough. Incredible meal for a very special day! 🙂

Another sign that summer is just around the corner, the Strauss Troy Market returned
to Fountain Square today at lunchtime with all it’s local vendors offering up everything
from fresh produce and flowers to sweet treats and handmade trinkets.

Including one, Eli’s BBQ making a triumph return to Fountain Square!

But I didn’t get any Eli’s BBQ today because I brought free pizza for lunch. 😦


I did, however, get a photo of one of the honey bears, just like I do every year. 🙂

Strauss Troy Market takes place every Tuesday from 11-2 on Fountain Square! 🙂

It was wicked foggy on our walk this morning.

You couldn’t even see Great American Tower from Lytle Park…


And you couldn’t see Mt. Adams either…


Geesh.

Tonight, we crossed over the into Kentucky to go to Rio Grande for dinner.

Best. Mexican. Food. Ever. 🙂

And then on the way home, we stopped at LaRosa’s and redeemed our third free pizza!
We got this one from the Reds game we went to on Tuesday where they lost to the Cubs.

We’re going to take them in for lunch tomorrow!
It’s going to be the best lunch ever. 🙂

This afternoon we redeemed our second free LaRosa’s pizzas of the season courtesy
of the Reds pitching staff hurling 11 or more strikeouts in a game. We got these pizzas
from the Reds win over the Marlins at Sunday’s game! Here comes the deliciousness…



Pizza tastes even better when it’s free! 🙂

My brand new point and shot camera finally came in the mail today!
It has a 20x optical zoom! My old point and shoot only had a 10x.

I’m excited to try this guy out and see what it can do. 🙂

After stuffing our faces with Skyline, we headed to US Bank Arena where the Cyclones
were playing game three of their Kelly Cup playoff series against Gwinnett Gladiators.
The series was knotted at 1-1 after a couple of games away to Gwinnett. Let’s GO…






LET’S PLAY HOCKEY!

At the first intermission, it was still 0-0…








At the second intermission, the Cyclones were leading 3-0!

And then it was 5-0!



And that would be the final score, 5-0 Cyclones!



Awesome game! The ‘Clones now lead the best of seven series 2-1! Game four is Friday
night at US Bank Arena. GO CYCLONES! 🙂

I just realized that we recently passed the 4500 post mark! That’s a lot of sharing on our
blog over the last four years. Thanks for stopping by to see what we’ve been up to! 🙂

And I noticed that I set a new high for points over the last seven days on my Foursquare…

I love my Foursquare, and I love sharing our adventures here. 🙂
