St. Louis Rock & Roll Marathon

Jeff, his sister, her fiancĂ©, and their dad did the St. Louis Rock & Roll Marathon.  It was the inaugural year for the marathon.   They all did great!!  I got some shots of my runners and some of the more amusing looking runners of the day!

Blues Game

While on a trip to St. Louis for a marathon, we went to a St. Louis Blues hockey game.  It was my first NFL game and lots of fun!

Hilly 100

The Hilly 100 is a bike tour held each year in Southern Indiana.  This year, Jeff decided to join his sister and her fiance on the ride.  I volunteered at a rest stop and also participated in the photography contest!

W&S Open

Each year, the Western & Southern Open is held in Cincinnati.  Jeff and I had the chance to go this year and we had a great time.  We got lucky with the matches we saw.  The first match we saw was Sharapova vs. Rodionova.  The second match was Federer vs. Del Potro.  I got some good action shots of Sharapova.  Federer and Del Potro’s match was a bit dark but I got a few of them.  Sharapova won this match and went on to win the tournament.  Andy Murray ended up winning the male tournament.

Carolina Vacation

Soooo I’m playing catch-up on my blogging.  August, September, and October really got away from me so I’m going back to the summer to post some pics.  Here’s some highlights from our 3rd Anniversary trip to North and South Carolina!
