For a Valentine's present for Porter I went to a Pin-up Party Photo night and took some photos. Here are some of our favorites. LockBox Studios does fun Girls night parties once a month, you should totally go check them out!
When we finished packing up and moving our house we landed at my Dad's house in Hooper. We set up our bed, dressers and TV in my old room as sort of a crash pad. We also brought some big furniture items up there for storage. We pretty much exploded into the house, plus we had the pets which added a whole other level of craziness to this situation. We each had 2 large suitcases, 1 small suitcase and a backpack full of clothes and bits and pieces that we would need for the next two months. Everything else is either in storage on on a boat that is lost at sea, who even can guess where, I just sure hope I see my Dyson vacuum and VitaMix blender, and all my fab dresses from Endless Indulgence again, but for now we live out of these. I made sure Porter set up the TV and Netflix before he went gallivanting the day after we moved, up to Park City for an awesome user conference his company was hosting (Digital Disruption) at Stein Erikson Lodge in Park ...
This past weekend I planned a trip for us to visit the White Cliffs of Dover. I had an old song book as a child with a song "The White Cliffs of Dover" in it and an illustration of an army officer and beautiful lady singing by the cliffs. I've always wanted to see the them. So we rented a car and headed out. The only car we were able to find was a manual. Porter was less than excited to drive a stick shift on the opposite side, but he was a trooper and did great. I should mention that he also drove this car through the heart of London. I don't know how he did it, I would have cried the first 10 minutes and gone home. I may add that he did have a pretty great navigator, it may have made the drive a wee bit better. It took us about an hour to get out of the city and then an hour to the coast in Kent. Our first stop of the day was Dover Castle. This fabulous castle is a top the majestic Cliffs of Dover. It is surprisingly...
It took us 3 times to actually make it to the catacombs. The first time, they were closed, second, we went to the wrong location, but third times the charm. We waited in line for about an hour before entering here. Next we had to go down 65 steps on a tiny, spiral staircase. It was very tight, and you could feel the temperature dropping as we descended down into the bowels of Paris. We then had to go through a system of small tunnels. The ceiling was only 6 ft. and was just bare rock. It was even dripping in places. I am not claustrophobic, but I was definitely feeling uneasy. Just the thought of getting trapped down there sends shivers down my spine. The bare tunnels opened up a little to reveal this great passage way, but it only lasted a little while before we were back to the tiny tunnel. The door way to the burial chamber : "Stop. Here is the Kingdom of the Dead." There were bones stacked up 5 1/2 feet on both sides. I'm not sure how thick it was. And this went on...
