All Star Memory

 

Some of you may have seen this before, maybe even every year, but I just can't pass up sharing the memory.

It was the All Star break, ten years ago, when the game was in Cincinnati.  The week started with ESPN semis parked behind the stadium, next to the river.

The grands and I went to the All Star Parade on game day and we had the best time.  It was a party.

The bridge in this picture was closed to vehicle traffic during the parade and the grands enjoyed walking on the grid.  Locals call this "the singing bridge" because of the musical noise made when cars drive over.

On our way back, the wind picked up and a mist of water from the river came up through the grids.  Once we were in Kentucky the rain and wind started in earnest, and we ducked into a check cashing store for shelter.

That night we went back across the river once again, with their mom, and we watched the game on the giant tv at the city square.  Aaron - he kept working his loose tooth during the game and eventually worked it out.  An older man in a nearby lawn chair enjoyed watching the progress of the tooth loosening.

And that was our day - thanks for revisiting it again with me.
