A few more...

The concept of living next to a downtown is a novelty to us.  Orange County is just one huge sprawl that is too far away to be considered a suburb of LA.  Downtown Louisville is small enough to be unintimidating, yet has the nice features of a city, including restuarants, museums, cool buildings, and the hustle and bustle of a city.  After a tour of glassworks, Grandma treated us to lunch at the Spaghetti Factory.  The kids thought that it was the coolest restaurant imaginable.  

One our way home, we made a last minute stop by the river.  This surray turned out to be quite a workout, especially since James' legs are still a little too short to help with pedaling.

Neat statue of Abraham Lincoln.  Can you tell how massive it is?  I am sitting on his thumb.

Did I mention that people in Louisville eat really well?  Mom and Dad treated me to a date night at Corbett's for my birthday... the most gourmet food I've ever had.  Seven course dinner.  

Can you believe the beautiful hair on Jessica?  She gave me a training session on how to curl hair, so we are both dolled up.  Not sure I'm brave enough to try it again.  Almost singed my hair a few times.  Yikes!
