home sweet chapel
Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 1:03AM we're back, and we're in!
When I last wrote we were packing up North Lodge and scrubbing each 200-year-old nook and cranny. Moving matters were slightly complicated by a 12-day gap between the move out and the move in. With Dean's parents arriving just 2 days after we vacated North Lodge, and no home to house them, the four of us booked ourselves a sweet cross-UK roadtrip, hitting three out of four countries in the Kingdom!
First stop: Pembrokeshire in Wales, more specifically a little village called Penally on the edge of the fab seaside town of Tenby.
After two days of relaxing, beach strolling and excessive eating, we trucked along to our next stop: York!
The next day brought us back to the beautiful Scotch mountains we love. Even on my sixth visit, Edinburgh is still enchanting:
A few hours north along the coast brought us to our principal destination: Aberdeen! It was such a treat to see old friends and to watch my hubby finally collect that piece of paper that tell us he's a doctor!
Last stop, after a 9.5 hour drive south: Windsor, a convenient hop/skip/jump from Heathrow where we said fare thee well to our excellent travel buddies, Mom and Dad Regier (thanks for such a fabulous visit!!!)
After so much adventure, I don't the least bit mind settling in for a bit of homebody time. Can you blame me?
more photos from the new house, coming soon!
