Thursday 7/13/06 - Reds vs Rockies

On Thursday 7/13/06 the boys and I started our big trip. We left Huntsville and drove to Cincinnatti. After checking in at the Millenium Hotel downtown, we walked over to the Great American Ball Park to watch the Reds defeat the Colorado Rockies 9-7 in a great game. Ken Griffey hit his 555th career homer. I will be posting more about this day later, but here are some photos.
