Little known fact: When Brad was younger he LOVED steamboats, he was apparently obsessed.
Knowing this I have wanted to picnic along the river during the steamboat race for a few years, but one thing or another got in the way.
History: The Great Steamboat Race is a Derby event that is usually held the Wednesday of Derby week. This year the Ohio River was too high for the Cincinnati Belle to make it under the bridges to get down to Louisville for the race so it was postponed, until tonight! Why 8 weeks later I have no clue, but they got a perfect night!
We decided at the last moment to grab KFC and head to the river for a picnic. We made it down just in time to see the Belle of Louisville take the victory. We were able to sit down to eat and watch the Cincinnati Belle finally make her way down the river. She was lagging greatly behind. The Belle of Louisville has been known to cheat, especially back when she raced the Delta Queen. So I am suspecting something of that nature. Madeline enjoyed sitting on the blanket in the shade banging things around.

Brad was trying so hard to get a picture of us as the Cincinnati Belle passed but someone wouldn't look at the camera.
So he settled for the back of her head.
