We’ve been back for almost two weeks now from what we’ve appropriately named Honeymoon #2. Take a look and I think you’ll see why. All I can say is, “Highly recommended!”.

This Memorial Day (Late May Bank Holiday) weekend we hooked up with some good friends in London for a weekend of fun in the sun. I only have pics from our Saturday trip to Borough Market but we took advantage of the amazing weather with a great picnic in Hyde Park and BBQ at home as well.

There are weekend trips and then there’s weekend trips and last week’s run to the States was the latter. In just over 72 hours we enjoyed a day or two with the family for Stacey’s Graduation, followed by catching up with Adam and Maria and their new baby Jonah, then a 30th birthday celebration for Sam, and finally a quick lunch with good friends and parents-to-be Chris and Jerilyn.

Despite having a jam-packed agenda, it worked out flawlessly and save one “Wait… what country are we in?” moment, we kept on top of things. Thanks to everyone that made the time to fit our schedule. It was great.

For my birthday last weekend, Jen surprised me with a nice weekend trip to the Lake District here in the UK. I’ve been wanting to check it out for a while now so my birthday was the perfect excuse to make the drive up. Jen picked out a great little B&B in Keswick called Allerdale House and were quite impressed. It has a perfect rating on Trip Advisor which isn’t surprising after enjoying the hospitality and breakfast provided by hosts Helen and Tony.

On Saturday we enjoyed a nice LONG walk around what we though was Buttermere only to realize after it taking MUCH longer than expected that it was actually Crummock Water slightly to the north. We ended up pretty much soaked but had a great time all in all. Thanks Bella!

In keeping with our Easter travel tradition, this year we headed to Istanbul for a nice long weekend. Between late night prayer calls, bazars, the Bosphorus strait, and ordering Dominos delivery in Turkish, it was an interesting trip!
