Hunter In Vegas

So when Hunter was about 3 weeks old, we took him on a road trip to Vegas. His first trip out into the real world involved a one night's stay at Caesar's Palace with the sound of slot machines ringing all around. The hotel was beautiful!! I should add that the only reason why we went to Vegas was for the Marine Corps Ball.

This first round of shots involved a lot of running back and forth b/c Hunter kept falling sideways.

Legoland

If you've got children, and you've never been to Legoland, I highly recommend you go. Almost everything is made of Lego's. Except for the rides of course. ;) Plus their apple fries were to die for!!! Here are some shots of my cousins' children.

Joel

Ava

Dave was making funny faces at her. That's the look I give him alot too.

Kayla

Must give props to Kelly who took the next 5 photos.
Luke

I must be bigger than I thought. I actually thought the two of us could fit in here.

I know I'm going to here comments about this one.

And finally, I couldn't put up a post about Legoland without actually showing some Lego's.

San Diego Zoo

I just love the zoo! Enough said...

Who knew that a lion's fart could travel that far!!

Meercat posing like the rock. Some people might say this is a phallic symbol.

Koala bear behind a glass window. He had a really bad itch on his butt that he wouldn't stop scratching. It was funny!

I'm jumping for joy that I actually get to photograph someone in front of all this bamboo, but my "patient" husband is not enjoying it one bit; if you haven't noticed. haha

Ok this time I did not have the patience to photoshop our names in there so just enjoy the nice picture of bamboo.

Winery in Temecula, CA

It's so nice to be able to have access to all this natural beauty! Moving from NJ to CA certainly has its benefits. The weather was so perfect. Doesn't it make you want to move out here? hint hint

Dave's sister Susan.

Denver, Colorado

With all the lights that are still hanging, you would think it was still Christmas in Denver. We even got some snow this past week. But I have to say, it is so good to be back in San Diego. My skin is thanking me too. I never thought that extremely dry weather could be a bad thing. I'm not sure if I ever want to go back there in the winter, but there was definitely lots to see.

Strolling along 16th Street Mall
No that is not a homeless man, that is my husband. hahaha He is such a good sport; I asked him to that. After I got home and looked at the photo, I couldn't figure out what he was doing with his face. Then it finally hit me; he is imitating the bear.

Tilt Shift Lens

Who says you can't take nice photos with a PowerShot camera? The following photos were taken during our honeymoon in Greece. I resurrected these because I've had a slight obsession lately with the Tilt Shift Lens. And instead of shelling out the big bucks to buy the lens, I decided to fake it in Photoshop. What would the world be like without Photoshop?! So this lens is supposed to make pictures look like toy models, to put it in layman's terms. So I decided to test it out on these photos:

Good Night!
