May Quit My Daytime Job!

This beautiful Sunday afternoon Kevin and I ventured out to meet with our friends the Ivanko's for a photo session with their daughter for her 18 month pictures. They have liked the other photos we have taken and we were excited by the opportunity to practice some of the things we have learned. We went to a park down the street from their house the wind was blowing and the clouds were pretty and the sun was out. We had such a fun time and took about 700 pictures! When we got home I used Picasa to edit them and I am so happy with the results! I hope Lisa and Stephen are too! Maybe Kevin and I will quit our day jobs to be a team of photographers since we had so much fun with this! ha ha!
Here are some of the shots:

Ferry Boat Ride In Cincinnati

Kevin and I felt like getting away for a weekend before I go back to working on saturdays. We left after I got off work on Friday and drove the 2 hours to Cincinnati and stayed in our favorite hotel chain Drury Inn & Suites! We got up early and ate breakfast then got ready and packed a picnic lunch. We were going to go to the museum of art but we left the hotel later than expected. I bought tickets online for the BB Riverboats sightseeing tour and was really excited about it! We didnt know exactly where the port was so we parked at the Newport Mall and walked down to the riverbank. It worked out nice that right outside the port were picnic tables so we ate lunch and enjoyed the view before boarding the Belle of Cincinnati!
What a lovely day!
