Day Trippers


We had a really nice visit last week from Steven's parents, who came out to see us and to help with Grandma's move. Everyone has been chipping in, trying to prepare Grandma for such a big change. And we are really appreciating being closer to her and the rest of the family this year, seeing the generations together and all of the changes that come with time. It was great to have "the in-laws" in town.



We spent some time showing them around our neighborhood, walking through the Common and taking the bus around the hood, going out for coffee, and shopping in Wimbledon. Then we had a couple of day trips- the first was to Canterbury, where we toured the Cathedral, walked along the old Roman city walls, had a great pub lunch, and checked out the market stalls. It is a beautiful city, and one that we had never visited before. Franny didn't join us on this trip, as she spent the day up in Manchester for the Primary Engineering National Finals (she didn't win, but did have a brilliant time).





The second day trip was to Hampton Court and Palace, something we had been meaning to do for ages. We toured the grounds on a gorgeous sunny day and were all impressed. I'll let the photos do the talking here.











We're off on Spring Break later this week, so definitely more blog posts to come soon!
