London, England

The end of September into the beginning of October, Daddy was able to go on a missions trip with our church to London, England.  He had such an amazing time.  The main reason he went was to be the social media person for this trip.  He was able to blog often to keep everyone back home up to date on what was going on.  You can check out that blog here.



The London Eye

Where the team spent most of their week.

Long story short: first night, Daddy overloaded the circuits and fried his surge protector.


They have some odd chips (crisps they call them) over there.



Big Ben

Big Ben and Big Ben

Such cute mailboxes!

Million Dollar Bars.  I'm still trying to find the right recipe for these.  So far: no luck.


Different candy bars than we have.

Daddy had these every morning for breakfast.  He said they were a little bit of heaven.




The airplane toilet ~~ just for C.


We were able to FaceTime with Daddy every day that he was gone.
It made the week go so much faster!


The purse Daddy brought back from Harrod's.

Our AWANA commander and C's piano teacher.
Now compare this picture to the next one.

Not sure what they are doing.


This was from Daddy's plane.  We were also able to track his flights.

C and I ready for church.

He stole Daddy's spot at the table.

Daddy missed 2 games

C wanted to visit MCL Cafeteria while Daddy was gone.
We were so NOT impressed.  Only way I'd go back again is if someone else paid for it.

Pensacola!

The day after Daddy's Warrior Dash we drove to Pensacola.  (I hate that drive; it is forever long)  We had such a great time while we were there.  We got to do so many things.  I'll see what I can remember.

Most importantly, we got to see this little guy. My brother's little one.  Isn't he so serious?  And cute!

We also got to see my nieces a few times.  They are both down there at college.

I wish we had one of these closer! We made sure to bring some home with us.

One of the things I miss about P'cola: fresh seafood.  Specifically shrimp.  Yum!




We spent a little time at the Naval Aviation Museum.
Not near as long as C would have liked......

We got to see the Blue Angels practice!  It's been years since I have seen them.  It was amazing!


He does smile!

Look at the rolls on him!  The baby; not my brother.

The Indiana flag at Lamberts: home of the throwed rolls.


Beautiful sunset at the beach after a gorgeous afternoon.

A little soccer on the beach

Got to walk around one of the forts.  C would have spend more time there, too!

A locally owned coffee shop that we visited 3 times in the week that we were there!


Got to see a friend from year's past.  He was actually Daddy's roommate during college.

Look at those rolls!


The neatest mini golf place EVER. Many memories from  years ago.







Isn't that beautiful!

This is where Daddy and I used to meet for every church service while we were dating during college.
