England

We had a WONDERFUL time during our vacation to England. We spent 2 great weeks with our family there. Isabella did such a great job with all our traveling and especially enjoyed playing with her cousins Alana and Charley. We spent two days in Canterbury, a day in London, and visited various places around Aylesbury. We celebrated Steve's birthday during the trip. My parents were kind enough to watch Isabella for us so that Claire, Charlton, Steve and I could have a nice meal out and see the movie "Amazing Grace."

We learned several things on this trip about Isabella:
1. She LOVES swinging
2. She HATES grass
3. She can fall asleep in her car seat even with her daddy driving crazy on the "wrong" side of the road
4. She can, and will, flirt with every person seated around her in an airplane
