We actually visited both of those in 2006. It was part of a surprise birthday trip from my wife that summer. I'm a long-time Reds fan (long-story, too!). I usually catch a Reds game once a year when they come into Philadelphia. My last trip out to Ohio was in 1990 when they won the World Series. I asked for tickets to see the Reds in '06 and was expecting to see them in Philly. My wife put together a nice family trip out to Ohio & Kentucky and I was able to see two games. We also took in a lot of the other sites as well. All this talk about Cincy has been craving some Skyline Chili.....
Hershey is pretty fun (though we aren't actually too fond of Hershey chocolate!). It's odd though - they have "character appearances", breakfasts, and so forth. No Mickey or Cinderella here though - it's 6 foot walking candy bars!
Harry-
Your Ohio visit sounds like quite a trip! I have never been to a Red's game either. I pay my company's season ticket costs every year and every now and then they offer their tickets to us, but I've still never been. Pretty pathetic since they are only an hour away.
I'm not so sure about my daughter and 6 foot candy bars! She was freaked out enough by princesses, and big, furry animals. Candy bars might be the death of her! That's good to know though in case we ever do make it to Hershey!
