the Hipps family...: This is what you were like when we first moved here.

When we decided on a Friday that the boys and I would leave England the following Tuesday, I worked my butt off to get everything packed and sorted and ready so the boys and I could have one last fabulous day in Brighton on Sunday. With minimum sleep and maximum action, I got it done and we had such an amazing last day out in Brighton. We went through the Lanes, the North Laines, to the penny games at the Pier, to the rides at the end of the Pier, we rode two carousels, we ate at one of our favorite restaurants and we topped it all off with a dip in the sea...while the heavens opened up on us...all the while (with the exception of the swimming in the rain) I was snapping photos. As I thanked them for being so gracious and patient with my photo requests Owen told me "This is what you were like when we first moved here." I must agree...but now I know Brighton and the photos are just that much more meaningful. So with that, here are a select few (alright, quite a few) from that lovely day:
