Ohio take 1: Cincinnati and Columbus

Maggie in front of Great American Ballpark. For being named after an insurance company, it is actually a pretty decent name for the park.

To begin our Tour-of-Ohio-cities-that-start-with-C we made it to Cincinnati.  It was a short stay at Anna’s friend Pam’s house, and basically all we did was see the Reds game.  Unfortunately Great American Ballpark was pretty empty, but it was a nice new park right on the river and we got a kick out of Mr. Redlegs, the mascot.

Next was Columbus to visit Anna’s friend Ryan.  We weathered an intense rainstorm complete with tornado warnings (yes, we had to pull out the map to figure out what county we were in).  We went out after the storm to check out the town, and much to our surprise, it turns out that Columbus is a pretty happening place.
