The Many Faces of our Princess

I never get to go anywhere fun...

That is exactly what Noah was saying to me a few weeks ago. He felt so deprived, like the whole world is going places and he never gets to travel anywhere fun. I decided it was time to post and to declare to the world just how deprived my son is. Here is just a few of the more exotic places Noah has been in his short 11 years of life. Don't worry...I'll be sure to print a copy of this to put in my journal...just to make sure that if he requires counseling later in life for living a deprived life, they won't blame me. By the way...I love this kid:

Looking for "Nessie" on Loch Ness, Scotland

Nagano, Japan...hanging with the snow monkeys

NYC

Gozilla Attacks in Kurihama, Japan

OK...I just really like this picture, it makes me miss Japan so much!

Hiroshima, Japan

Lake Country, England (what boy doesn't want to play in one of these beautiful ponds

that inspired poets like William Wordsworth and painters like Monet???)

Yep, that would be Stonehenge

And this would be Big Ben

Ice Festival, Sapporo, Japan

Hawaii (he's been there 3 times...do you hear me....THREE TIMES)

Phi Phi Islands, Thailand

That would be Mt. Fuji in the background...

Shores of Ireland

I haven't even mentioned our trip to Philadelphia, going to Lego Land and Sea World, or going on local trips...like White Sands, Mesa Verde, and the hikes we've been on (just thought of one other place he has been...the Bahamas). I guess it is hard to get sympathy from a mother who didn't go on her first airplane ride until she was past the age of eleven.

To his credit...we haven't been traveling as much as we use to...I guess it has something to do with having more kids, money going into our home, saving for his awesome college experience he will have someday, a business to run, etc....

Here's to more traveling in the future. I do love it and would be hopping on an airplane frequently if I could...Noah must be a boy after my own heart.
