The Moore children and grandchildren are active personalities.  From the time they settle in after leaving the hospital, they are in their parent’s packs skiing down the slopes of Park City, Deer Valley, Sun Valley, Brighton, and Alta.  Summer means hiking and back packing at our home in the mountains.  The 4th and 24th of July celebrations take us to rodeos, barbeques,  and river rafting on the Smith and Morehouse.    Dogs are barking, and the ovens are red hot all day long.  So, the big experiment today!  My son Thomas Jr.  whom many of you deal with on the phones at London Connection, has the family in hand and are on their way to London.  He will have them hiking to the lantern of St. Paul’s Cathedral and biking all over London on fat tire bikes.  I have given him one responsibility:  to write a superb ten-day tour of London for family and children.  London is the center of the earth, and they will have the greatest time with all kinds of hands-on activities:  boat trips, climbing dome stairways, evening “death marches,” Beef Eater Tours of the Tower of London.  I have to say, our guide Marilyn Collis will have her in-put.  Oh my goodness, aren’t we having fun.  I am 70 these days, so I am glad it is now the next two generations to “go crazy” in London while I am tucked somewhere with my books, cameras, and museums, and friends.   The key to the National Gallery is important:  one hour of touring and then letting the young folks go exploring to find their favorite picture.  Then, go downstairs at the National Gallery to have printed  posters of the favorite pictures.  That way, the National Gallery becomes personal.  I will shut up now;  I am sure you have heard enough.  But, I have been doing this kind of thing with my family for over 40 years!  Now it is someone else’s turn!  I am excited to see the itinerary that Thomas Jr. is creating.
