Steamboat Race

Living in Louisville has been a lot of fun. There always seems to be something to do, especially around Derby time. The 134th Kentucky Derby is this coming Saturday and so there is always a couple weeks of Derby festivities prior to the actual Derby. Today was The Great Steamboat Race down the Ohio River. The participants: The Belle of Louisville, The Belle of Cincinnati and The Delta Queen (also from Cincinnati). This may be the Delta Queen's last race so it was kind of a big deal. We thought it would be fun to have a picnic dinner down by the river to watch this race. And what a perfect day for it. Everyone was out along the river to enjoy the festivities. Alexa particularly loved the rocks and dirt near our picnic blanket! Check out the slideshow below for pictures from our fun afternoon!
