My family has a long-standing tradition of celebrating Christmas in Chicago. It started when we were young and lived in the suburbs, and my parents would bring us into the city to see The Nutcracker every year. After we moved away from the Chicagoland area, my family took trips back to Chicago whenever we could. …
FC Cincinnati joined Major League Soccer (MLS) this year! Considering this team has only been in existence since 2016 (as a member of USL Championship), becoming the 24th team in MLS is pretty impressive! Technically, this is not an official stop on the stadium tour, nor does it count for checking a team off of …
Summer definitely arrived in Cincinnati! We had temperatures well above 90 all week, so I had the challenge of finding ways to beat the heat while my niece and nephew visited last week. They wanted to go to a water park, but they had gone while visiting one of their other aunts a few weeks …

In partnership with the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, The Wilds …
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. Like Miller Park, it’s also special to me for several reasons. Hubby and I went to a lot of baseball games when we …
Miller Park, Home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is my favorite ballpark in all of Major League Baseball for a few reasons. The primary reason is that it’s my “home” ballpark so I have an obvious bias. Though I live in Cincinnati now, Miller Park is the place I saw the most games played, attended countless …

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 …
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. I had been to Louisville many times because I had cousins who lived there while I was growing up, but had …
