Downtown Train Adventures


This weekend we decided to drive downtown and have Italian food and ride on the train.  We all had so much fun and I took too many photos.  I need to come back with my real camera when it is cooler. There is just so much to see.


As you can see I am still loving my little iPhone camera and Instagram.  My favorite Instagram filter is Earlybird and I spent a few hours trying to create a similar edit in Photoshop.


Here is my version.  This action has 10 layers so far!  Once I finish it I will post it for download along with the little frame you see in my sample that I made from watercolor paper.  I need to figure out a name for this action...  (Update, thanks to my readers' comments, I am thinking of going with  Downtown.)


My husband and I used to live around the downtown area when he was in school and I miss it sometimes.  I need a city apartment along with my suburb house.  And a small organic farm in the country would be nice.  I also apparently need to win the lottery (which means I need to start playing the lottery).  ;-)

The best part of the day was watching how much fun the boys had on the train.  I love these types of inexpensive adventures.

  3. I'm obsessed with instagram! I feel the same way, I need a posh downtown apartment, a little place on some land, and of course my current suburban home!

    Can't wait to see you action posts!
