Welcome to another exciting weekend with Saturday Snapshot, hosted by Alyce, At Home With Books.
Today I’m sharing a potpourri of photos taken during the Olympics in London (and a couple on the way).
Next week, I expect to have more photos….On Sunday, Brett and his kids are meeting up with my oldest son, Craig, who is coming to Paris from Berlin to connect with them. They’ll be meeting at noon under the Eiffel Tower.
I can’t wait to see more.
Now I’m off to see your photos…come on by and leave some comments and links!

Looks like fun.
I’m dreadfully envious that you got to see a Federer match live, I’d love to do that some day.
The “sleeping on the plane” shot is hilarious. I’m not sure they’ll be happy with you for posting it though. 🙂

Yes, I kind of like this “armchair traveling.” Reminds me of the movie The Accidental Tourist, about the man who writes travel guides for those who want to travel as if they aren’t actually leaving home.
I would actually like to visit those places, but without having to fly there for twelve or fourteen hours…lol
Thanks for visiting, Alyce.

Sensational! I love the one of them asleep too. We’ve been watching the Olympics on TV where I seem to be cheering constantly. I was born in England, spent ages 5 thru 14 in Canada before moving to the states in 1969. So I’m a three time champion cheerer.
