It was sad to leave our freinds in Delaware..we spent a day in Washington checking out some museums and the whitehouse..which was exciting as president Bush was about to land there was lots of police and what looked like FBI on the roof! We travelled to Virginia and walked in the blue ridge mountains..beautiful we also saw a snake on the road .We visited a little town called Lexington which I fell in love with..art galleries ,book shops coffee and ice cream hangouts..organic grocery stores all lovely wooden houses in fantastic scenery..I could just live there..but I`d want all my freinds there too..Dawn whittle would like it..I could see it needing a handmade jewellry store..but there is no Primark(its only fault!).Today we woke up in Tenessee right near dollywood …a theme park homage to Dolly Parton!thought of Steve Kenyon! We didnt visit but went out walking in the smokey mountains everyone sounds just like you would imagine…and really freindly..like tennessee so far!We went up a mountain over 6000ft fantastic views..fab day.everything feels slower and I just want to saver every moment..the day came to a great end by seeing just off the roadside a bear with her cubs ..playing and climbing trees!!wonderfull to see..we were all so excited..a great day marvelling at the beauty of Gods creation.We then came sharply down to earth with another long drive to Nashville…with fighting children!!! they soon calmed down and slept,but woke on arrival to our motel room!Motels here are a bit hit and miss …generally very good cheap and clean and family room great!!but continental breakfast in some of them means a piece of cake or a doughnut !! kids thought they were in heaven having cake for breakfast!!others have been better..waffles bagels and cereals..more choice and we went in a pool for a swim after breakfast had loads of fun!On arrival in Nashville which looked like a really exciting place at night..to wander round places with live music and atmosphere..sadly all I did was wash laundry in the bath!!oh well!!we have about 8 hours drive tommorrow…going through memphis and hopefully get to the next state Arkansas!! thanks for you all keeping in touch were having great time but do miss home and freinds! oh happy 18th birthday to Jon and well done for passing your test!hope your still doing great job with PA!!

Hi guys looks like you are having a fab time.
I have sorted your pics.
All wide pics have had width resized to 450px,
long pictures to 300px.
Basically what you had done is to upload your pics without resizing them. Your content area is only about 560px, and some of your pics were 3000px plus, and then you squished them into a thumbnail sized container, thus causing the slowness and small images you had.
On your computer you should have a photo manipulation programme of some kind to scale the pics down before you send them to wordpress. Save with different file name as to keep original large photo.
Then when scaled 450px or 300px, send to editor. Use original, not thumbnail and all will be well.
Take care span.
