On the road again, continuing north. As is typical in New Zealand, your next adventure is just around the corner. We stumbled upon an area called Buller Gorge. We found New Zealand’s longest swingbridge, at 110m long. The kids loved it – I was terrified! We walked over, and then the kids did the cometline...

Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, Hotikika & Punakaiki, South Island /New Zealand – Day 4
I was really looking forward to this. 30 minute helicopter ride with a glacier landing? Oh yes.
We woke up to near white out conditions on the glaciers, meaning no helicopter ride for us. However, it cleared slightly after about thirty minutes and we were able to go up. We probably should have opted...
Drive up the west coast of South Island / New Zealand – Day 3
Yes, we’re crazy. Day 3 in New Zealand, and we drove several hours up the west coast of the South Island. We love a good road trip. This is a LONG drive, but one that is well worth doing. Our destination this night was Franz Josef, which is a 7 mile long glacier located in...
Milford Sound & Queenstown, South Island / New Zealand, Day 2
This was my favorite day of 2011.
Milford Sound is a fjord in the south west of the South Island, just inland of the Tasman Sea. The plane trip from Queenstown takes about 20-25 minutes instead of driving 4 plus hours ONE WAY in a bus. We didn’t have much time so we opted for...

What an amazing place. I will...

Glacier National Park – iphone snapshots | June 2011
On a personal note, in early June, we decided to rent an RV ( first time) and drive around northern Montana to go exploring. We flew into Missoula and rented an RV from a local place to save us driving from California. I will post more but here is a small sample of the gorgeousness...
Summer List 2011
We finished our summer list about two weeks ago, but I forgot to post it! We just got back from a family RV trip to Glacier National Park, and I have been busy shooting lots of sessions since we returned. We are hoping to get to do most of these! Make of the most of...

Isn’t my niece lovely? We finally had a chance to go play last month, and I haven’t had a chance to look at these until just now.

On a personal note, Little League Baseball season is in full swing. Go Cubs and Red Sox! In the home stretch to summer now!
