England!


One week ago today we were making our way back from visiting our good friends Tom & Caitlyn in England.  It was a great week!

We took the train from Nador to Marrakesh. On the way down we took our time, stopping for two nights in different cities. On the way home we did the 15 hour train ride all in one trip. Lucky for us our kids LOVE to travel!

Our first stop was in Fez, where they have a McDonalds, and our new friend Ronald. Anytime we passed a McDonalds after that Benson would say "hey, there's our friend!" 

They couldn't get enough of looking out the window and taking in the sights. Like I said, they LOVE to travel.

William didn't mind it so much either. Traveling is easy when you're strapped to mom.

Part of our time in England was spent in the south with Tom's parents Uncle Paul and Auntie Allison. We were so spoiled while there - hot tub, clotted cream and fresh scones, and yummy English tea!

We also got to go down to the Beach. And what a Beach it was - the very best kind. A bit stormy, crashing waves, tide pools, not an ounce of sunshine. It made me think of home!

It was a really great trip. We were so blessed to see our dear friends and enjoy their hospitality. Now we're back home missing them and looking forward to when we'll all be together again!

You are so brave, Dani!! And how wonderful that your kids love to travel. I still remember St. John hospitality from my visit there to see Grace many years ago. Looks like a fun trip.
