My favorite campsite is the Home Farm. The Chilliterns have unique and yet classical architectural structures. The houses look so beautiful. Another thing are the red kites.

It was awesome to have. We recently traded down to a smaller car, but I still have fond memories of our camper.WanderMomhttp://wandermom.com/kid-travel-photos/hiking-with-kids-annette-lake/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-60654499201048684072010-07-30T10:38:28.391-04:002010-07-30T10:38:28.391-04:00What a fun idea!

My hubby is a big VW fan so that will make it easier to convince him to do it.<br /><br />Are there any campground close to London? Would it be possible to do it while visiting London or it's more recommended when we want to travel around England?<br /><br />Thanks for your British Prepping posts.

Thanks for the links and review!<br /><br />In Turkey - we went to Istanbul, took the ferry then overnight train to Ankara, a two day trip to Cappadocia (so glad we opted for the hot air balloon ride@), and a week in a villa Selcuk (Ephesus). From Selcuk, we took a day trip to Pamukkale/Hierapolis (amazing place).<br /><br />We all loved it and really would love to go back again!<br /><br />http://gwyneth.butera.org/tag/turkey/GBK Gwynethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773574210259807602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-63890928179958937472010-07-29T13:18:48.012-04:002010-07-29T13:18:48.012-04:00That looks a perfect way to travel with a family! ...That looks a perfect way to travel with a family! I can't wait to hear more about your trip!! On photobooks...do you have a Mac? I made a photo book right from the iPhoto software that stores my pictures and I couldn't be more pleased with how easy it was to create (no additional uploading to another software, etc.) and how professional it turned out.
