Banks Cousins
I didn’t want these cute pictures to get lost in the 100’s of other Yellowstone pics. We got the kids all cleaned up and made them have a photo shoot. They were good sports about it and I think we got a couple really good shots!
Banks Reunion in Yellowstone
What a fun time we had with our Banks family in Island Park and Yellowstone. No one in my family was very excited about driving 10 hours one week after returning from London. But after it was all said and done, we all agreed it was worth the drive! We stayed the night in Pinedale…
London Family Pictures
I have always wanted to do family pictures in the cities where we’ve spent the summers, but I’ve never done it. About a month before our trip I stumbled on the blog Love and London. She offered vacation photo shoots at famous London landmarks and I jumped at the chance. The day we were supposed…
Edinburgh
Our day in Edinburgh was a little bit meh. Except for these Kelpie statues that Rusty really lovesI think we were coming down from our Glencoe high. We woke up to some pretty bad news about TapInfluence being acquired by Izea. This was a huge blow that came from left field. We had no idea…
Glencoe and Hidden Valley
We slept in and ate breakfast at our cabin. Then we went to explore! We found the spot where Hagrid’s hut was filmed and we took a little hike up to Signal Rock. Josh discovered these tiny little frogs hopping all over the trail and they were the hit of the hike! We all wished we…
Isle of Skye
We got up early and rode a train and a coach to get to the airport. Was the last time we’d ride public transportation in London so we also stopped to get the rest of the money refunded on our Oyster card. I love that London does that! We landed in Inverness and went to […]
The Cotswolds
Or what will hereafter be known as the Day of the Bathrooms.” More to come on that soon…. We took the Overground and rented a car in Hammersmith. It was quite the ordeal and it took us a lot longer to get on the road than expected. And it was our first time driving on…
Tate Modern and England World Cup!
We decided to wait until the late afternoon to venture out. We are tired of battling the heat (I feel like I say that everyday!) and since the Tate was open late tonight, it was nice to go out after the peak heat of the day. We hoped to be able to catch the end…
Friday Favorites
It’s hard to believe we are winding down our time in London. Only a few days left! We wanted to go do all our favorite things one last time. So we set out on Friday to make that happen. The day did not get off to a great start. We arrived at Victoria Station and…
Notting Hill by Date Night
This was, without a doubt, the best London date night. Dinner was at Dishoom, which is the restaurant I wanted to come to for Rusty’s bday the first night we were in London. The line was too long then, and too long when we tried to come back a few weeks later before Bat out…
