Surprise Summer Trip || Cincinnati Birthday

Remember that one time that we went on a summer trip
and the mom forgot to blog about one of the best days!?!
Can we rewind back to the epic summer trip we took BEFORE school
started?  Because mama realized that she forgot Cincinnati 
and DH had this part of the trip planned the whole time.
Anytime that we could land at an MLB field to watch our beloved St. Louis Cards
on his baseball loving son's birthday, we better make it happen.

I scored a good deal on this hotel in downtown Cinci.
We had an amazing view and stretched out a bit after driving down from Newell, WV.
But, with a city calling, we put on our Cards shirts and headed to explore the town.

The birthday boy in his birthday suit.
Love him.
We enjoyed dinner at this restaurant right by the Reds stadium.

The area by the river is amazing.  Lots of green space and places to explore...




Picture from DH phone as we enjoyed the riverwalk area.
And this series is exactly what to expect when trying to get  decent pic with your boys.
They are the king of NO PICS or PHOTOBOMBS


We counted this one a a winner.  We were happy.
DH was itching to arrive because he picked seats near the Cardinals dugout
so we made it in time for batting practice.
We were very close, great seats.





His 10th birthday at the Reds stadium watching his favorite, the Cards!



It was a perfect night game, temps were mild.
I made friends with a mama next to me and we laughed the whole night thru.
Cards win 6-2
Excellent end to fun vacation.
Great way to wrap up summer.
