England 2008: Norwich

Posted on September 11, 2008February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

Just before Margaret’s graduation, we had a quick trip to England … pictures follow!

Here are a few from Norwich, where Margarets parents live – starting with their back garden, and then into the city centre and market; also a few flint walls:

White Mountains Water

Posted on July 27, 2008February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

We spent the weekend in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire – near Franconia and where MINIsOnTop happens at Mount Washington:

We stayed at the Attitash Grand Summit hotel:

Touring around, we stumbled on Jackson Falls on the Wild Cat river – very spectacular!

Later, we found more exciting water – but this was the result of a dam being partly opened in Berlin, NH – it’s been raining a lot in New England recently, and the river was up to the top of the dam!

Back to Seaworld and Disney

Posted on April 25, 2008February 21, 2017 by Ian C.

We had another trip to Disney … we returned to Seaworld and WOW it was busy! We also spent a day in Magic Kingdom with our neighbours Joanne & Earle, who happened to be down for the same week …

Pictures from Seaworld:

Then another day, we headed over to Space Mountain (in Disney Magic Kingdom) for a ride; it’s a roller coaster in the dark and Margaret doesn’t like it! Joanne wanted to ride Space Mountain but not on her own, and Earle doesn’t like it either. So Joanne and I rode the scary ride 🙂

We also did Splash Mountain (with Joanne well wrapped to keep her dry while the rest of us got soaked!); the Thunder Mountain roller coaster, and another performance of the Gloucester Docksiders:
