UK Trip Photos
We are back in the US now and I’m finally caught up enough to post to my Blog. It was a great trip for several reasons. First, we had a great seminar with experts from all over the world speaking to our audience, we received great feedback from the attendees. We also accomplished another first during the event, we broadcast it live through our new Social Networking Platform – Got Access. It was great exposure for Got Access and helped us test out some new features.
The second part of the trip was our Rip2it Training Workshop, the workshop followed the seminar on Monday and Tuesday. I really enjoy doing the workshops, this is where I get to teach our members for 2 days, how to use our software in conjunction with Niche Marketing. This is my passion so it’s something I love to do, sure it’s two 9 hour days of speaking but it goes by quickly and I really enjoy it.
Finally, the tourist part of the trip. This year, I was able to convince both of my sons to go with us to London for the Seminar and Workshop. They were a bit hesitant going in because I told them they had to work 3 – 14 hour days if they came along. Both boys agreed and they both did an incredible job, in fact, we offered them both full time positions after they completely took control of the video, broadcast and recording of the event.
We did some sightseeing in London and had a great time, we visited the Victoria & Alberts Museum, Imperial War Museum and The Winston Churchill Museum and all were full of British History and we spent hours in all 3. In between Museums, we went to the usual tourist spots, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament and we walked all over admiring the architectural history of London.
For our final tourist outing we decided to travel to Windsor (the royal families home) and visit Windsor Castle. It was an incredible day, I can’t even describe the history and feeling of walking through the castle and seeing all the artifacts. There was no photography allowed inside the castle so it will have to remain a memory. We were all overwhelmed seeing things like King Henry VIII’s armor, the Queen’s guard room with weapons dating back hundreds and hundreds of years, Knight room where every Knight in history has their shield displayed and the Waterloo room which was built to proudly display portraits of everyone who was involved in over-throwing Napoleon.
We walked all around Windsor and ate lunch in a 800 year old pub and enjoyed the sites walking along the Thames River. It was nice to see the countryside of England again, we visited many areas last year outside of London and really enjoyed it. London is nice but I’m an outdoors guy and love the green countryside and history of old England.
Here are some photos from the trip.
We spent time Snorkeling, Kayaking, Beaching, Hiking, Sightseeing, Shopping, Relaxing and more…
