We are back!

We arrived home late Saturday night from 23 days camping, hosteling, and visiting relatives. We started out from our home in SE England and over 2500 miles later, we had spent time in Germany,Swizterland, Italy and Belgium and drove through France and The Netherlands in the course of it all. Phew!
The best news is that we all had wonderful time. There was literally something for everyone in each place we went. It was no Brady Bunch adventure but it was no Simpsons either. (Southpark….maybe)
My family rocks.
We took hundreds of photos, so sorting through the winners and losers will take some time, but as soon as they are ready, anyone who has nothing better to do can see them. I am loving our new camera and am eager to get busy taking pics of my work. Focus is a marvelous thing.
So for now you can see the picture above, which was taken by Anja. (yes, she is 5 years old) It is at the Bridge of Love in Cinque Terre (Vernazza). I overheard a very enthusiatic tour guide tell their group that lore says if you have your picture taken there with someone you will be together for all time. I don’t know if it is true or if it is just tour-guide trivia, but not ones to miss a chance at stacking the odds, Axel and I enlisted Anja to snap a quick shot of mommy and daddy. That girls has a great eye!

You and the hubby look so good! Seriously, there’s like this happy healthy glow about you both. :) The kiddo is definately a great little photographer and I can’t wait to see the rest of the pics.
I am in my element in the heat. Its the leo in me. Not neccesarily the direct sun, but definately a warm climate where I can see the sun on a regular basis.
