Cheerio!!

I know it's been quite a while since my last post. So much to catch up on, but the most exciting is that we just came back from a two week European Vacation! We spent most of our time in England visiting our son Nate who is stationed there in the Air Force. Most of our time was touring North Yorkshire. We did travel down to London for a day, and then drove down to Paris for a day! We had such a great time, explored many Castles and Abbeys. England such a beautiful country, so different from the U.S. We made so many new friends, Brits are very friendly and very welcoming. At least the ones WE met were. Granted, most of them were friends of our son. We also spent a LOT of time at The Blues Bar Cafe in Harrogate(where our son lives) It's our son's favorite place to hang out and they had internet!! LOL

We flew from Chicago to London Heathrow and then took a connection to Leeds. We then took the bus from Leeds to Harrogate, where our son lives. We spent that first afternoon in Harrogate, walking around, having dinner at a great restaurant for Fish and Chips and then went on the The Blues Bar Cafe to meet Nate's friends, and listen to some music(and use some internet...LOL)

Our son has a flat on the first floor of this house....

 Starting our walk around town. We walked this hill EVERY day...

 This beautiful park is just around the corner from Nate's flat. 

 More Harrogate...

Finally we end up at The Blues Bar Cafe... We were also very excited to meet our son's girlfriend, Rachel, for the first time. 

I have so much more to share, so I will try to be diligent in posting more updates about our trip over the course of the next few days.
