I think the biggest achievement is... I DROVE! That's right, friends. I drove in England. It wasn't "too" odd because I haven't been driving all that much over here since our car died in September. I've driven a few rentals and my mom's van, but unless we go to Oshawa, we only take the subway! So, it was okay to be on the left side of the road! But, it was also manual, which I have not driven in over 5 years!! And with the roundabouts... Oh my heck. I was constantly in a directional fog. I refused to drive on my own!! I wouldn't have any idea where I was going. Thank goodness Jamie was there to navigate! We went on our first long journey to Warwick Castle on New Years Eve. It was fun to get out and the girls loved going into the Princess Tower and dressing up.
We spent a day in London, a little shopping, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London (AWESOME!!!!!!) and the London Eye! It was a busy day and we are constantly amazed at how long and far the girls will walk!!
We also travelled down to Bath! We spent the night and went to the Roman Baths and Pump Room. There was an insane amount of shops outside and it was really beautiful! We walked up to The Circus and to the Royal Crescent. It. Was. AWESOME. I was worried about the weather so I didn't go through the Jane Austen Center and I will probably regret that for a while. :(
The girls started to speak with cute little accents and that was the best part! Aside from the delicious food. Mmmmm
As soon as we got home we were all sick. I had the flu and a few days later Ashley and Jamie got it and then Angela got it. Thankfully Audrey didn't! Then we all had colds, coughs and runny noses and I lost my voice for a few days!
Now we are all doing well and getting on with the new year!
