Next Stop: Ireland
I've had a great week in England and tonight my friend Laura and I travel to Ireland to meet up with our friend Richard. We have a busy week planned and we will be there until Thursday night when we head to Germany. I'm excited for several reasons - 2 being I am officially on vacation next week (I've been working from the J&J offices around here) and I've always wanted to go Ireland!
This week has been great. When I got here on Friday and couldn't find my friends, I immediately regretted not having a working phone OR getting my watch fixed before I left. After about 30 minutes (I think?) they found me waiting right where we had agreed to meet - Russell had decided they should go in and meet me but I had already passed through when they got there so they missed me - oh well. We had a 'full English breakfast' and then headed off to London for the day. My friends live in Windsor so we took the train in on Saturday and drove in on Sunday. Great weather and great sites - we had fun!
This week I've been working in our offices in Maidenhead and Pinewood . We've laid low for the most part -work, gym, dinner, tv, and sleep - but it is been good just not being home!
This morning I went to Windsor Castle while my friends went to work. It is about 1.5 mile walk from their house and the walk is mostly along the river so it was a perfect morning for a coffee and a stroll. I was really excited to see the changing of the guards...but of course in the month of September that only happens on odd days....Oh well - still a good time! You can't take a lot of pictures but here were some of the highlights....

Walking up to Windsor Castle...
Inside the fortress...
Saint George's Cathedral
Guard on duty...
I think this is one of my favorite pictures I've taken so far!
It's official - I'm not destined to get a good picture with a guard! Oh well!
Here is a brief plan for Ireland:
Cork --> Kilarney --> Galway --> Dublin
I hope everyone has a good weekend and gets to go and enjoy the Big E!!!

Greetings from London!
Just wanted to share a few pictures from my weekend in London! More details to come....
'Proper Fish & Chips' - the meal and the name of the restaurant! Just for you Mere...
Playing with my new camera at the London Eye!
Big Ben & the Parliament - I look exhausted because this was post-red eye with no additional sleep...
Having a beer along the Thames with my friend Russell
Tower Bridge walking to dinner
Jumping picture with Laura in front of Buckingham Palace -
I had to do it...
We were running a little low on time and resorted to the car for part of the tour - with Big Ben!
We had been trying to find a guard ALL DAY! Finally found one while we were getting ready to leave at Downing Street and I made my friend stop his car so we could run and get a picture...
...the cops weren't as excited about our plan as I was :) Just got off with a warning and a 6 month addition to some list - I personally think it was worth the picture!

A few pictures
...because we've been bad about updating. Not much has been going on with the Snider clan. We have had a few weekends at home which were much needed to relax. Claire is becoming so independent and keeps us laughing with the things that come out of her mouth. The picture below is Claire heading out to get ice - always a treat!
Yesterday, we tried out a new bar where the Clemson Club was getting together to watch the game. Lucky for us it was in Hoboken so Claire and I left at halftime. Claire had a blast and of course loved all the attention she got as the cutest Clemson fan at the bar. Poor child is already brainwashed. She runs around saying Go Tigers - touchdown! Too bad they lost a tough game last night.
I guess we tired her out. Any suggestions on how to keep this angelic looking child in bed at night? She doesn't have a problem going to bed but often times gets up at 2, 3, or 4 AM and wanders into our room. She only wants Mommy to get up and bring her back to bed and goes back to sleep fine once I rub her back for a minute or two. And I don't think it's nightmares because she never cries. Second problem is she gets up for the day way too early - usually between 6:15 and 7. She was a better sleep as an infant!
Friday after work we took Andrea to the airport and she is now enjoying 16 days in London, Ireland, and finishing her trip in Munich for Oktoberfest. She is sad to be missing Nicoles shower, but we are definitely looking forward to seeing everyone. :-)
Now back to the football game - let's go Patriots!!
