Harry in the House

My British obsession is in full force this week as Prince Harry is on U.S. soil this week!

His first stop yesterday was in D.C.  One of his events was viewing a photography exhibition staged by the anti-landmine group, The Halo Trust, of which Harry is a patron. (following in his momma's footsteps!)  This exhibit was where my super duper amazing SIL works.  So I sent her an email saying he's on her turf, and she came back with this picture!  Say what?!  SIL saw Harry!!  Personally, I think I would have fainted.

When I asked her what she thought of him in person, her response was, and I quote "Taller! Very handsome. Seemed nice. Lived up to the title "prince.""  Of course!

Later today, Harry heads here to DENVER!  I repeat, Harry is coming to Denver!

He's landing at TheHubs base.  I kid you not.  Agh....so tempted to take advantage of  a perk of being a military spouse and drive around base with my zoom and wide angle lenses.

Tonight, he'll be at a fancy pants dinner downtown, where TheHubs' British coworker will be attending.  Seriously?!  Soo close, yet so far away.

After that, he heads down to Colorado Springs and will be participating in the Warrior Games.  He's also staying at the same hotel we stayed in for our getaway in March.  You know, because we regularly frequent where ROYAL FAMILIES stay!!  

Colorado, for the most part, is very military friendly, so this is the perfect place for Harry to come since he is so involved in supporting active duty military and their families.  I really do hope I at least get a glimpse of the Prince in action!

And on that note, today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day.  It's official too.  President Obama says so.

I think I might just buy myself a Starbucks to say thanks to myself. ;)

Have a great weekend with your own princes and princesses!
