Time and Time Again


"The Blennerhassett family built an estate on this Ohio River Island in 1798. They fled the island when accused with Aaron Burr of plotting treason in 1806. Our family enjoyed visiting this now West Virginia State Park when the boys were 12 and 6. Eleven years later, many things were still the same, the adventure of the sternwheel ride to the island, the beautiful tree groves, and the smiles on our faces the entire time. 1999 & 2010"

While looking at the old photos, Bob and I recalled many fond memories most of which centered around the kids. Many of our pictures of the island looked the same. I liked Bob's photographer comparison:
"Photo Vest, Photo Vest
Nikon, Nikon
Film, Digital"

Digital Elements: Journaling Block (Jessica Sprague "Echos of Asia") Frame (Jessica Sprague "Companion Kit")

I really like how you used so many photos on this layout Cindy, and compared the two visits. That is such an awesome idea! I'm going to have to lift this one from you, if that's ok! Hope your having an awesome day!

I think it is so cute that you and your husband go out and do things together. It is so sweet that two appear to have such a great bond. :)
