Nelson Family Visit

Rob and family came into town a few weeks ago for a visit. We enjoyed some wonderful family time and little G loved serving as renowned tour guide for his cousins:

An afternoon at Covent Garden:

Two of my favorite moments at Leicester Square:


Taking the tube to the West End for a show:


A non-guided tour to Hampton Court, Rob you did very well and we are quite proud of how far you've come:





It was during this stretch of site seeing that I began to feel quite nostalgic:


First time at the Tate, could have spent days there:
Kids voted for the zoo:



And on to the Globe:


What a fun week of family time! Loved having you all here! Best part was after supper wrestling!

Day Tripping

We took a day trip with Rob and the girls and enjoyed the historic English sites:


I love the English countryside, there is no way to convey the beauty and serenity:
