Segway Date #2!

We loved our last segway tour, so we decided to take another! This time we took a tour of Eden Park, a very scenic park in downtown Cincinnati. It was a very cold day, especially when we were moving! Our hands and feet were frozen by the end.


We went on our tour with five other people, all of them riding for the first time, so we were the "pros" in the group.


We know we look adorable in our vests and helmets!


I mentioned we were the "pros" of the group. Well, we were so confident in our segway skills that we both got a little too comfortable and made some crazy mistakes. Nathan flipped his segway sideways when he turned too quickly and I flew out of control down a hill praying that no one got in front of me! I still don't know how I ended up stopping!




The beautiful Ohio River!


We saw some interesting things on our tour. One of which was a working phone booth!! Who knew there were any of those still around!


The next interesting thing was the number of wedding portrait shoots happening in the park that day. We saw several brides freezing to death! It is a very popular place for pictures because it is so beautiful! One brave wedding photographer asked our tour guide if the wedding couple could pose on our segways for a picture. We all agreed to wait a minute so that this could happen. It was very fun to be a part of someone's special day!


Time to head home!
