Travel + New blog = Excitement

Hello everyone!
In case you didn't realize it, you are now viewing Josiah and Ben E.'s new blog! Kinda neat, huh?

You might be wondering why we created a new blog when we both already had blogs of our own. Let us give you a little background...

You see, we both like taking pictures and posting them online. This hobby of photography recently got a big boost when Ben bought a Canon 20D DSLR camera. All was well until we realized that we both tend to go to the same events and shoot pictures by taking turns with the camera. The problems started when we had to decide which blog would get to post the pictures from the event (it would be redundant for us both to post pictures from the same event).

Tension was in the air as we stared each other down with the computer full of pictures in between us ( ok, it didn't happen exactly like that... ). Who's blog would emerge the winner??

Being the reasonable guys we are, we decide on The Compromise of the Week - we would start a co-op blog. Isn't that just an example of problem solving at its best? Glad you agree, we think so too.

To christen both our new blog and Ben's camera, we are going to post pictures from our family's recent trip to Massachusetts. The first installment of pictures are from the first day of our trip. Lord willing, over the next few days we will post pictures from the other two days of our trip. So without further ado, on to the pictures!

God bless,
Ben and Josiah

What do we do when we travel?

Enjoy quality sibling time.

Practice empire building skills.

Some listen to Jonathan Park... Others choose music... Take your pick.

Pore over mighty works of knowledge.

This plaque could also be taken as a cause for mourning.

Talking to the locals - "Are you guys Amish?" (For the record, no.)
"Sweetheart, one more payment and this baby is ours!"

Uh... A rusted piece of metal?
