Lake Cumberland

So I decided to finally take some vacation time and do a little traveling with Joey before he starts back to school. Our first trip was to Lake Cumberland (not to be confused with Cumberland Falls, which is also a great place). We had a WONDERFUL time! It was so relaxing to just get away from everything and play! This was our first vacation since our Honeymoon where we weren't running all over trying to visit with friends and family. Of course the park we picked had a Disc Golf course, and a very nice one at that. Joey and I played disc golf, swam, hiked, fished, relaxed, ate lots of good food and saw all kinds of wildlife (except snakes thank goodness). Joey even entered a sling-shot competition:) Here is a panoramic view of the point that we hiked out to. Very pretty!
The deer that we saw on the trail. She just stood there and watched us.
The view from our balcony.
The view from the Lodge Restaurant and if you notice on the point where the trees end, that is where Joey and I hiked out to! A little scary, but worthwhile!
The famous disc golfer
The fish just didn't want to bite that day, which was fine with me because I wasn't going to eat them! Joey at the sling-shot competition.

Northern Kentucky Trip

Noah and Joey are looking through a State Park guide trying to decide where they want to go next. Madeline and Noah are looking cute as ever.
We went to a Reds game while we were in town and had some AWESOME seats! The second picture is of Ken Griffey Jr. and I barely had to zoom in to get that shot!
