Digital photography and selective sharing allow us to paint a pretty idyllic portrait or reality. When I look back at pictures from important life events and vacations, I am always a little surprised to see how wonderful things look. While it is fun to indulge in selective memory, it isn't exactly an honest portrayal. That is not to say that there are not some blissful moments that can be captured, but their are a lot of ordinary moments that are important too. Here is a photo journal of my families recent trip to the East Coast. There were many fabulous, beautiful moments. There were many struggles and ordinary ones too.
Gazing at the Washington Monument on a Summer Evening
Reality: Trying to keep Liam and my camera out of the Potomac.
Happy in the Summer Sun
Dripping in Sweat and complaining about it every step of the way
Happy Family in Annapolis
Mutual Tantrum in Camden
John and I at the Chesapeake Bay
John and Liam at the Dock Street Restroom (AGAIN!)
Smiling with Dad and little sister in front of the Philly Skyline
and for my most flattering photo...
Struggling to keep Liam from exploring the Philly Streets Solo.
