A Fabulous Trip to England!

On Boxing Day we headed to England to visit family. At first we'd planned on taking the train, and considered flying with good'ole Ryanair, but finally decided on driving. It was an adventure. The weather in Europe had been quite snowy, but thank goodness things cleared up just in time to leave. We drove through France up to Calais where we caught a ferry to Dover, England. The kids LOVED the boat, and it was a nice break from driving. Docking in Dover amongst the white cliffs was beautiful.

We had a wonderful time visiting with family. We didn't do any sightseeing on this trip. We relaxed, shopped, and played at muddy playgrounds. Isabella enjoyed playing with Alana, Charley and Jenna, while Jack enjoyed being the only boy, though I think he missed having his sister's attention!






Jack knows a good thing when he sees it (Ribena!)
