week 36 travels

Hello
I'm here very far from home in a place called Virginia Beach...
In the mornings when I wake up I see this
              

Sunset from hotel window

Yesterday we made this thing for a love campaign they have here, I guess we just had to do the foto opp. our selves ;-)

                                                

For a long time travelling for me was not an adventure anymore...

Sometimes I even hated it, because we did too many....

Some years ago we even counted the days that we where gone for, and it came out that was 250 days that year...

                       

Monday 

So I guess that year it was just a bit too much...

And I became really sick off traveling...

Not off sand-sculpting by the way, I still LOVED that...

Tuesday

But then the kids came.. And my life changed in many ways...

Also we started sculpting other materials, 

and that was something I had been wanting to do for a long time...

Wednesday

The traveling part was a very big change... 

And I really started missing it.. 

I'm not complaining because we still travel a lot with the kids... and it's great... we also travel alone... wich is also great... 

But sometimes I miss it.. I guess it's addictive..

Thursday 

But the best thing about the change is that I begane to appreciate it again!

The fact that we live this live... where we get to choose to travel or not travel.. With or without the kids... alone or together... 

Friday

The only thing we have to do for that is something we feel very passionate about: making sand-sculpture...

Saturday

And because off that I here waking up with this beautiful sunset...

Don't get me wrong it's not as easy as it sounds..

Sculpting is a tough business,

and organizing the kids is at least as difficult,  

but we are so fortunate to manage...

Sunday

(And Oh yes I forgot to mention doodling is something I like to do when I travel ;-))

Today the competition starts...

Wish me luck ;-)

And see you next week!
