It took me a while to warm up to Baltimore. For the longest time I found myself there in the winter months when it’s cold and overcast. But through the years, it has slowly warmed up to me and now I have several reasons to enjoy my visits there…with the most obvious being the crabcakes! [...]

Canoeing, A Castle & Smellyfoot
Posted in Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, tagged Big Foot, Canoe, Canoeing, Castle, Loveland, swimming on August 22, 2009 | 6 Comments »
What better way to spend the day than to get out into the great outdoors and paddle downstream? So Saturday morning, that’s what we did. My buddy and I threw our kids in car and headed out to Loveland, OH to do a little canoeing. Once we got all settled and the kids A) stopped [...]
COSI Is Fun For Kids
Posted in Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, tagged Columbus, COSI, museum, OH on June 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Dunno if you ever get to Columbus, OH, but if you do, you should try out COSI…which stands for Center Of Science & Industry…or something to that effect. Anyway…we took our kids there and had a great time! Nice museum and kept the kids busy. Might have to go back sometime. However, they HAVE to [...]
75 Steps & A Thumbs Up!
Posted in Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, Thoughts, tagged Columbus, Fort Rapids, waterpark on June 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I like waterparks. I wouldn’t say I’m a waterpark efficianado, but when presented with the option of sitting in my house while guys are climbing all over the place or driving a couple of hours to an indoor water park, I figure the choice is pretty clear. Let’s go swimmin’!
And so we did. We packed [...]
Newport Aquarium

On Tuesday, I took my daughter and one of her friends to the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY. It’s one of the premier attractions here in Cincinnati and I would recommend that if you are ever in town, you check it out! It’s a great place for kids, not terribly expensive and I actually find [...]
Notes From The Derby
Posted in My Life, Places, Silly Stuff, Sports Talk, Uh...Dunno, tagged Calvin Borel, Churchill Downs, Kim Kardashian, Mine That Bird, Rachel Alexdraan, The Kentucky Derby on May 3, 2009 | 7 Comments »
So yeah…I was working the Kentucky Derby this past weekend. ACTUALLY…if we need to clarify…I DIDN’T work the Derby. As a matter of fact, I was halfway home when the Derby started and I listened to it on the radio on the ride home from Louisville! So in that case…I did NOT work The Kentucky [...]

So Nathalie gave HER version of what happened. So now here is MY version of what REALLY went down. And trust me…it is nowhere near as interesting as what she thinks!
So I arrived in New York on Wednesday. Kinda overcast and crappy and headed STRAIGHT TO WORK. I didn’t get out til 6pm and from [...]
My New York Trip…She Said.

It is true that I spent a few days (5 actually…but who’s counting?) in the Big Apple. I had lots of work to do and very little time to myself. Or…did I? My blogger friend, Facebook confidante and all around amazing photographer, Nathalie With An H, apparently went out and stalked me as I had some [...]
Walt Disney World: Animal Kingdom
Posted in A Look Back, Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, tagged Animal Kingdom, Walt Disney World on April 10, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Not a lot of time. Disney bus leaves for the airport at 2pm for a 5pm flight, but we have to check out at 11am and we have a few hours to blow. So…let’s go to Animal Kingdom! Basically a large zoo, Steph & I figure we can have a little fun before we go…so we’re [...]
Walt Disney World: Epcot Center
Posted in A Look Back, Family Life, Kids, Places, tagged Epcot Center, Honey, I Shrunk The Audience, Walt Disney World on April 8, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Look ma! It’s a giant golfball!
So of all the parks at Disney that we were planning on visiting, Epcot was the one I was most looking forward to! We didn’t go the last time we went to WDW, considering Christopher was only 4 and Ava 2, we just didn’t think they would get it. Well…I’m [...]
Walt Disney World: Hollywood Studios
Posted in A Look Back, Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, tagged American Idol Experience, Disney Hollywood Studios, Hollywood Disney, Jedi, Sci Fi Drive-In Theater Restaurant, Star Tours, Star Wars, The Wizard Of Oz on April 7, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I wouldn’t say that Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the best “movie” theme park in Orlando (Universal looks WAY cooler!), however it does offer some really fun things to do and for smaller kids, it might be the better of the 2 parks. We went on Thursday and immediately took a left hand turn to go [...]

Ahhhh…the world of the Mouse. Where the fun never ends and the smiling faces are everywhere! And today was our day to experience the madness…er…magic! So much to do, so little time…so let’s get started…
Got ’em right where I want ‘em…
Right out of the gate, Christopher was in a mood. I love my son, but he is [...]
Walt Disney World: New Orleans Riverside & Downtown Disney
Posted in A Look Back, Family Life, Kids, My Life, Places, tagged Delta, Downtown Disney, Florida, New Orleans Riverside, Orlando, vacation, Walt Disney World on April 5, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Vacation time! And the kids didn’t know. Yes…that’s right…we didn’t tell the kids. There were 2 reasons for this…1) We wanted it to be a surprise. And 2) We didn’t want to have to answer “When are we going to Disney” every 10 minutes for the preceeding 2 months.
Anyway, the kids were totally surprised! We [...]
A Trip To The Mouse House (A Father’s Lament)

Pooh on you!
Sunny Florida. A wonderful trip to see Mickey and all his friends in the warm sunshine. Life is all good. Right? Well…of course it is! However…and I need to tread gently here…I have to say, as a father and husband who loves his family very much, a vacation to Walt Disney World is [...]
Indianapolis

The World War Memorial is BIG!
When you think of “happening” cities, I can’t imagine that Indianapolis comes to mind. I know I would never think of this middle American city as being a cool city. But I got news for ya…the Circle City IS a very cool city.
I have been to Indy several times in [...]
