Clarifiying London: So, Just Come on This Journey With Me

The last week of my life, I have been playing, playing hard core. We had our trip up North to The Peak District, York, The Lake District, and Preston/ Liverpool to see Church History Sights. Now that I am home (and got pictures from my lovely pal Brianna) I can rewind and recap the amazing adventures I had up North.

What an amazing trip. I know that was vague. But there is so much to recap on! Me person highlights were running through the gardens at CHATSWORTH.

Jani jumping the barbed wire fence

mountain goatin' and hopping barbed wire fences through the moor with Jani, Jordan and Grace. Reading YHA bunk beds. Having the extra sound effects during the ride from another visitor at the Viking Museum. Finding a POUND(dollar)STORE in York. Feeding bulls at Bede's World (and for the record- Bede was a monk). Wandering through the Lake District, and Jordan & Andrea reading Wadsworth & Peter Rabbit on our boat cruise. Our crazy boat driver. And to top if off- the senile lady in Preston yelling help from her window.

Sometimes when we get bored we impersonate statues:
