Dark hour with bright attitude

So it will happen again - another Earth Hour scheduled for 8.30pm local time on Sat March 27th. An event led by World Wildlife Fund in which millions of people around the world will unite by turning out their lights for one hour to make a bold statement of concern about our planet and climate change.
Our 11-year-old son Mikhail is very future-of-the-planet-conscious (as we try to teach him to be of course) and you may read about this climate-change-oriented event on his P.S/I.S 49 school's newspaper also (where he leads as an editor and administrator). Last year he was among first kids in the school who was pushing everyone and everybody to take part and turn off all lights. He also put notes on the walls at our building to aware people and invite them to join the action. Surprisingly he got warm responses on those notes.
As you may notice we are very proud of him :) We turned all lights and appliances off and played some games while we walked to park to watch Manhattan skyline dimmed during last year Earth Hour. We believe it is very useful for family relationships to turn off TVs, computers, radios etc and simply talk or play together at least from time to time ;)
This year things are a little bit different though - we'd like to do it the same way but actually we will be driving the whole day this Sat to Myrtle Beach, SC for spring break vacation. We will shut down everything at home of course, so at some point we will extend our Earth Hour to Earth Day.
I think we will see interesting and impressive moments while we will drive along towns and cities shutting down their lights. Hopefully I'll get some meaningful photographs and will post them to my documentary and travel photography web-site.
