The Nitty Gritty

After a few days in London, we boarded a train in Paddington station and rode to Exeter . It was a beautiful train ride--full of green pastures and grazing sheep. Once we arrived in Exeter we climbed a steep hill to the main road and quickly arrived at our Bed and Breakfast. It's owned by a young married couple. It was my first time staying in a bed and breakfast and I have to admit I fantasized about owning one someday! Isaac began his conference sessions the next day so I ventured out and took some guided walking tours. The weather was perfect. I didn't need a jacket and the air felt so clean and fresh. Everything was within walking distance so I didn't have to worry about riding a city bus or catching a subway. I loved the exercise and walked several miles those few days. I never did get on a sleep schedule which was actually a good thing because I was able to get back to normal when I started school the day after we came home.

St. Paul's Cathedral Isaac and I went to England last month for a week and had a wonderful time. We flew into London and met up with the Davies.  It was so fun seeing Amelia, Raymond, and the kids. I was so grateful we could tour London with them because they know the city and where all the sights are. Isaac and I just followed their lead and never had to study a map and try to figure out where everything was. They knew the yummy places to eat, how to ride the tube, and Raymond took our pictures with his awesome camera. It was truly the best way to spend a day and a half in London. The second night we were there we saw the musical, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". We got to sit closer than what we paid for because there were some available seats. Score! I loved walking around London with Miriam, Evie, and Eli. They are so well behaved. Miriam especially is growing up into a fine young lady. Evie was so adorable posing for her daddy when he would take pictures....
