Hiatus

Hello friends and family,
From now on, I'll be putting photos and posts on my blog for Egypt - egyptianagape.blogspot.com - just so's you know. I don't have a ton up quite yet, but should be updating it regularly soon. I'll probably return to this one in a year. Hope you all enjoy!

Hugs and kisses,
Annie

Happy 4th

Nena... not so much a fan of firework noise.

Family Party

We don't really visit, we invade.

Dad in the Garden

Being all proud of his tomatoes. If you're a veggie fan, let me know and I'll deliver some homegrown goods - tomatoes, eggplants, squash - we have a ton. And they're delicious. And I don't have anything better to do.

Picture to Share

Just in case I don't make it to Pei Wei on Tuesday, here's my photo to share. You ladies are awesome.

Welcoming Home Party

Guess who was more excited to see me than anyone?

Flying Home, Attempt #1

My triumphant arrival to the airport for my 9:30 am flight... which left at 8:25 am.

Diptych Craze

Jumping on the bandwagon with a Polaroid.

Life with Mark Mulligan

Essentials for a nice, non-dorky home haircut:
-Beard Trimmer ( +charger)
-Mirror
-Porch
-Camera (if you are haircutting a photographer)

Life on the Farm

From the Big City to rolling green hills, horses, one-eyed dogs and the most beautiful people in Virginia.

New York, New York

Good times in the Big Apple. I attended Sunday Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral, sun-bathed in Central Park and did the Empire State Building thing. Thanks to Drew for having a birthday of nothing to do but be a great host.

2,500 miles in 3 days

After a drastic change in plans, Rob and I are B-lining it to New York City just in time for Chiron/Magnum magic. We are currently in some city in Ohio and will hit NYC tomorrow afternoon. Nope, no pictures of Yellowstone or Chicago, but who doesn't love 35 hours of good, solid time in the car?

Mount Rushmore, South Dakota

Dear Mt. Rushmore,
You are too difficult to find. Please reposition yourself in a more convenient location.
Sincerely Yours,
Annie Snodgrass

Backcountry Camping

I still don't know what to think about camping that requires a permit and viewing a 20-minute video on bear attacks. Luckily, we didn't see any hungry grizzlies on the trail.

Glacier National Park, Montana

Thompson Falls, Montana

East

Driving through Washington.

I love these people

Rob's portrait of the Valencia and Dave Lund - our Washington hosts. Thanks for an incredible weekend.

The Island

A few from Vashon. Although a little wet and cold, one of my favorite places on earth.

Vashon Island, Washington

After several meals of peanut butter crackers and more granola bars than I can count, you can only imagine how amazing it was to have a good ol' home-cooked, northwestern meal. Rob and I somehow managed to land a couple of nights on a friend's island estate off the coast of Seattle which included the best clam chowder and salmon I've ever had. More tomorrow.

Thank you Oregon

For Amish visitors and a beautiful sunset.

Redwood National Forest, California

Did you ever imagine that something could make Rob Strong look tiny?

Just in case you think all my pictures look alike...

I do too. Photographer's block.

Goodbye San Fran, Hello Beautiful Northern Cali

Today we left Tolu and the big city and drove up coasts and thru trees.
