Goodbye England, Hello America!
July 27, 2009I have been on the road and in the air for over a week now for a summer packed full of travel. I am re-packing the bags for the 4th hotel and will have at least 3 or 4 more to go. Why oh why oh WHY did we pack so much stuff?? With all the swimming and canyons and mud and sand and ‘play-hard’ we have definitely needed every item so far. So there you have it. Delta loves us I am sure as they charge a fee for every bag checked. Never again, Delta, do you hear me?
As this has been a working holiday so far, I will update our adventures as I can. We have 3 laptops fighting for spotty internet service in the hotel at the moment.
Here is a quick self portrait of the family at a quick sunset visit to Hadleigh Castle before we left.
Later dudes.

Paul: So very great to have you visit. We enjoyed you'll much. Cam, India, & Aidan - Hope to see you real soon. maybe the deer will come for a visit. They did while we were in Utah with you guys and they ate all of our Strawberry plants. Oh Darn!
Christine: Awesome self-portrait! How do you rock even shadow shots??!! :)
Tanya: My kind of self portrait! Love it!
George | Leigh-on-Sea Photographer
July 8, 2009Did I ever post George?? I don’t believe I did.
George, meet The World. World, meet George. Go see George on stage in London’s West End or on your telly. He is currently acting in Waiting for Godot and has a few episodes of The Bill playing later this year. I am bummed that I may not see Waiting for Godot before I leave for the summer!
I always think of him as the mini Leo. Dicaprio that is. Watch out world, here he comes.
Whew! There is one week of school left for the kids and I am hurriedly sorting and packing suitcases and packaging and delivering orders before we leave next Thursday. I have been a bit (a lot, HUGE lot) of a stress case these last few weeks and I am on strict orders from my son to chill out and relax and not lift a finger while we are travelling. Gufawwww. I will let you know how that pans out. But I am very much looking forward to shooting in Utah and our photography workshop on July 22nd. I will post all about it when we are done. I am also excited to catch up with many friends and family over the summer. It’s been too long, hasn’t it? I will try to crank out a few more posts before I leave, I have a bunch in the queue. Then I must r-e-l-a-x, even if it means pawning the children off on some of those beloved friends and family! Enjoy your summer!
