Survived: 7 hours in the car and a new camera

Posted on | September 30, 2005 | 11 Comments

We’re visiting the inlaws in New Jersey, and made our way by starlight this morning down along open highways to get here around noon. Seven hours, give or take, and Bean survived.

So much to post about–perhaps tomorrow when we have leisure time and Bean’s grandparents are doting on him. Noteworthy: we purchased a new Cannon EOS 20D. It takes amazing pictures and yesterday, walking around town trying out the exquisitly rapid shutter speed and the lovely zoom lense, I was giddy beyond belief. Click on the photo below for a slideshow sampling of the pictures we took.

    is flickr really that cool…? hmm Anyway how do you sign up? Also cool camera and shots..I have a great camera that sits in my closet because I don’t know how to use it kinda silly. The little one I have I love but…I also don’t know how to use it. I am insane and need some lessons I suppose.

    Green here too. I’ve had the same digital camera for the past six years. I’m willing it to break, so I can justify the cost of a new one. i soooo want one!

    Those photos are awesome! Have a great trip!

    Well, talk about taking the air out of my tires! I’m so thrilled to have a new camera, too, but with a very restricted budget couldn’t even hope to get a digital SLR. Suffice it to say that I’m very jealous but will try REALLY hard to get over it by having fun with mine. :) I started today!
