No Spectators: The Art of Burning Man at the Cincinnati Art Museum

My niece and nephew (or my niblings, as is the gender neutral term for my sibling’s children) visited last week, and I was charged with the task of getting them away from their screens and entertaining them for a few days. Have you ever tried getting a teenager and tweenager away from the screens without …

Road Trips from Cincinnati: Legoland Discovery Center in Columbus

Over Father’s Day weekend, I planned a surprise road trip for Hubby, the kiddo, and me. Our first stop was in Cumberland, Ohio to visit The Wilds.

Road Trips from Cincinnati: The Wilds

For Father’s Day, I planned a surprise weekend road trip for Hubby and the kiddo. I had been exploring weekend road trips and family-friendly activities for a while, and was excited to find The Wilds, a 10,000 acre wildlife conservation center located in Cumberland, Ohio.

MLB Ballpark Tour: Great American Ballpark, Home of the Cincinnati Reds

Miller Park may be my “home ballpark,” but Great American Ballpark is currently the closest Major League Baseball stadium, and probably the one I have been to the most after Miller Park.

Though I live in Cincinnati now, Miller Park is the place I saw the most games played, attended countless …

Stadiums Not on the Stadium Tour: FC Dallas (Toyota Stadium)

In 2012, Hubby had to work in Dallas, and I was able to tag along on the trip. Our plans to visit every MLB stadium tour were well established, so we naturally planned to see a Texas Rangers game, but the official kickoff of the MLS/MLB Stadium Tour was more than a month away. I …

Stadiums Not on the Stadium Tour: Chicago Fire at Toyota Park/SeatGeek Stadium

Given the news that the Chicago Fire are closer to moving out of their stadium in Bridgeview, I thought it was time to review SeatGeek Stadium. I’ll admit that I had no idea they had changed from Toyota Park until I read the most recent news about the negotiations to break their lease. I have …

Day trip to Lexington: Kentucky Horse Park

Last weekend, we took a day trip to Lexington, Kentucky to visit the Kentucky Horse Park. Lexington is a 60-90 minute drive from Cincinnati, depending on point of origin in the Cincinnati metro area.
