In between the 6 hours of client appointments and the stack of desk & computer work that we did yesterday, Steve and I found time to kayak with Venture Outdoors and take a quick bike ride. Okay, so maybe we had to start at 6:15 am to fit that in, but at least it was a beautiful morning.

We found friendlier folks on the river yesterday (see “propositioned on the river’). They were a robust group of individuals, wide awake and ready to row. But as we started out from the launching site at PNC Park, it soon became clear to Steve and me that they were a little hardier than we are at that hour of the day. We met some interesting people and chatted with them as they passed us by. Great photo I took – of everyone’s backs!

Today, we are off to West Virginia for an engagement session at one of our favorite places, Oglebay, with a member of one of our favorite families. Emily & Jack will be married this fall – we have already photographed her sister, brother and her sister-in-law’s sister at Oglebay. So, we are challenged to find new locations so that Emily & Jack’s photos will be unique.

Tomorrow we will start the day with a bike ride to the South Side and if the weather cooperates, we’ll work from our laptop at the pool and see fireworks in the evening.

Saturday we join Kelly & Will as they celebrate their marriage – they are deserving of a full page story on this blog because they are so funny! The story of how they met is hilarious – more on that later.

We wish you all a safe and happy 4th of July!
