Most days you will find us in the office, sleeves rolled up, hunched over our desks, designing sweetness or coding away. We greatly enjoy the work that we do from day to day, but every now and then it is good to escape the typical work day and, well, just have fun. Last Thursday was one of those days. When the guys showed up in the morning we decided we were going to drop everything, drive down to Cincinnati, and catch the 12:35pm Reds game.

There is nothing quite like enjoying a hot dog and cold beer at the ballpark on a nice afternoon. On a personal level, the trip down to Cincinnati as well as the ballpark setting call to mind only the best of memories. We arrived in Cincinnati to find it sunny and about 75 degrees, a perfect day for baseball. We purchased tickets and made our way to the bleacher seats above the left field wall. Most of the game’s action took place in the first two innings as Houston jumped out to 3-1 lead only to find it tied after Reds’ at-bat in the second. In the fifth, the Astros added two more runs. The Reds would try to catch up, but never bring it any closer. The game ended with the score 5-3 in favor of the Astros.

Although the Reds could not pull it out, we certainly enjoyed the trip. After the game, it was back to Columbus to resume work as usual at dynamIt.
