I got my haircut this afternoon, and it was raining in downtown Cincinnati. Thankfully, I could still walk through what little portion was left of the once great Cincinnati Skywalk. Once I got over to Sixth Street, I made it almost all the way over to Queen City Square on Fourth Street. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but the Skywalk saved me having to walk four and a half blocks outside… in the rain. Also on my way to get my haircut, I passed by a bunch of pretty Christmas trees in the lobbies of the various buildings. In the OmniCare building…
And in Queen City Square…
Walking back to work, I noticed that they had hung all the holiday decorations in P&G Gardens…
I don’t really miss living downtown. But I do miss walking through P&G Gardens and Lytle Park every day. They were a couple of my little happy places downtown. 🙂

It was very foggy this morning in downtown Cincinnati. I love it when the tops of the buildings disappear into the foggy sky. 🙂

Today seemed like a perfect day for another Habañero Burrito Monday…
We love Habañero’s Burrito Mondays. We got two huge burritos with chips and salsa for just $11.50. You can’t beat that. It makes dinner sooo easy. The burritos are enormous and really delicious. And I really dig their chips and salsa too. 🙂

Today, we went over to The Westside to celebrate Genifer’s brother’s birthday. Later, we took Oscar for a walk up the hill at the end of our street. It was another pretty grey and rainy Sunday today…

It was Redsfest 2016 Saturday at Duke Energy Convention Center. This is the third straight year we’ve been to Redsfest (2014 and 2015). We always enjoy walking around Redsfest. It’s just a really fun event…
As soon as we walked in, we ran into Reds pitcher Raisel Iglesias…
Did you notice how awesome his shoes were? Both Genifer and I want a pair of those!
And we met the Louisville Bats mascot, Buddy Bat…
We saw Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen…
And we saw Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart in the same place we saw him at last year’s Redsfest…
A Lego exhibit is coming to the Louisville Slugger Museum in Kentucky…
We saw Reds favorite Corky Miller…
There was a taco cooking contest going on…
We got these awesome Redsfest draw-string backpacks…
We stopped and listened to The Mistics…
As we were leaving Redsfest, we ran into Reds outfielder Scott Schebler…
It was another great Redsfest. It’s always such a fun event to wander around. 🙂
Afterwards, we stopped at Americano for some guacamole, BBQ chicken wings and onion rings. It was a wonderful end to a great afternoon downtown.

On our way across downtown to Redsfest, we stopped to admire some of the spectacular holiday trees around downtown. This beautiful tree was in the atrium of The Westin on Fifth Street…
And of course, they chopped down yet another beautiful, huge old pine tree to stand on the Square for the next month before being discarded…
I don’t know why the one on the Square really bothers me. And there was this beautiful tree in Carew Tower…
Downtown sure is beginning to look festive. 🙂
