As with many families today, they are on the move and travel a lot. Time to be together with family is cherished and often unconventional. Our family is no exception. Today we celebrate the holiday of Christmas with our son and daughter-in-law on the eve of their departure on a three-month journey to photograph the landscape in the lower 48 states. We are blessed to have this opportunity to be together. We will celebrate Christmas with the rest of our family during a more traditional time, but equally as un-traditional. I’m not sure yet, but perhaps we will be near the ski slopes of Alyeska, in Girdwood, Alaska. Staying flexible with our schedules and a willingness to forgo tradition works well for this talented and active family.
