Cotton candy. Pebbled beach. Arcades. Greasy fish and chips. Brightly colored, oversized stuffed animals. Boardwalk sweet shops. Overpriced, tacky fair rides. If you were playing a game of word association, these would all be fitting descriptions for Brighton, England. This weekend we decided to swap the dirty, dark city for a day of sun and fresh air by the sea.

I thought of you today when I read this quote:
“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London.
No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life;
for there is in London all that life can afford.”
- Samuel Johnson, 1709
I hope the grey skies don't get you down. Your pictures all look bright and sunny! :) I love hearing about the kids' schools and your adventures. Great to see you're already making friends. Moving is always such an adjustment, whether it's a half-hour away (like our last move) or a half a world away! Granted, you've got lots more to adjust to, but remember to give it time. I'm glad you're a more frequent blogger these days. Thanks for sharing!
So...is that a recommendation to go or not to go to Brighton!? And by the way...how much can I pay you to take some pictures for me? Or atleast teach me to run mine through photoshop and make them look even half as good as yours! I'm in awe...
Shannon,
Your photos are killing me! And about your lack of sunshine . . . It is too bad we can't just do a little weather swap. It has been beastly sunny and hot here. What I would give for a few days of that filtered light--both for photos and for living.
Thinking of you in So. Cal.

Your kids are beautiful! I love that picture of Trev checking out Dallin's lollipop. He's adorable--they all are. Beautiful pictures. I miss you!!!!!
Hi Shannon, I happened upon your blog... it is so fun to see Dallin and Madeleine all grown up. You are an amazing photographer. What a great adventure!

By the way, Dave recently went on a business trip to Texas. When he got back he was telling me that he went to this restaurant that was AMAZING-- Papacito's. It made me think of you and all of the mommy food conversations while the kids were playing in the EV courtyard.
