1 week ago today Evan and I returned from 9 glorious days visiting my cousins across the pond in England. Over the years, I've made several trips, but this was Evan's first to England. We had an amazing time! The first 4 nights we spent in Chenies, where my cousins Pete and Kate live. Chenies is about 25 miles outside of London in the English countryside. We're talking fields of flowers, horses and cows right outside our hotel window, which was a great hotel to stay in. Check it out here- www.bedfordarms.co.uk. We had an amazing English breakfast every morning, which if you don't know, English breakfasts are the best!- fried eggs, sausage, very soft bacon( just the way I like it!), beans, fried tomato, mushrooms and toast- a pregnant girls dream!
Our fifth night we spent in London- toured the sights- Tower of London, Buckingham Palace ( which if you go to London I do recommend trying to go in August when you can actually take a tour), Westminister Abbey and much more.
Our sixth and seventh nights we took a (very expensive) Chunnel train ride to Paris! Another city that I'd been to a few times, but a first for Evan, and Paris is everything you expect and more! It was absolutely beautiful, we enjoyed wonderful wonderful food, all the sights, and the great French culture.
The last 2 days were spend back in London visiting more sights and spending time with family.
I'm soo glad we were able to do this trip before the baby arrives, as who knows the next time we'll be able to go?? I defintely want to bring the baby there but not until he/she is older and can remember it, so maybe a second honeymoon?? We'll have to see :)
PS If you are contemplating planning a trip, this is the time to go as the exchange rate on the Euro and pound is the best it's been in years!
