It really wasn't too bad getting to their house. It was about 3.5 hours to get to Calais, France where we loaded our car onto a ferry. It was a nice 1.5 hour break from driving. The girls spent time looking out the window at the ocean and running around in the lounge. It was during lunchtime, so I just packed lunches for everyone and that also took up some time.
As you are coming into Dover in the UK, you have a pretty good view of the white cliffs. It was REALLY foggy that day and we couldn't see them very well.
I'm mad at myself because I didn't take any pictures on Thanksgiving. Brooke took a couple that I stole :) She had the kids decorate cupcakes for Thanksgiving and also had a couple more darling crafts the kids were able to enjoy!
That night, we took a walk to their local park and let the kids play for a little bit. It was pitch dark and wet, so we didn't last very long. Here is a picture of all of headed to the park.
Thanksgiving day was a success and the food was so yummy. I love that we have good friends close by that we can spend the Holidays with since we can't be near our family. In the military, our friends become our family.
We spend most of the weekend hanging out and enjoying each other's company. The weather was not ideal, but we did get out a little bit.
They don't live too far from Cambridge, so we headed there for one of the days.
Pretty sure Rob was being tormented by all the kids the entire time begging him for piggyback rides and choking him with their gloves. What a good sport!
The most awesome candy store. It was like Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory!
Abe bought this ginormous sucker for Meika because "she really wanted it!" Hmmm... not the best idea ;)
Cute little market that goes on everyday
The next day we headed to this amazing park with tons of fun stuff for the kids. Of course it was freezing cold and a little rainy, but the kids still had fun. I would love to go back in the summer!
The night before we left we went to this super yummy restaurant. Abe and I say all the time how much we crave it. They even had free refills, free water and ICE!! Love that! What a great weekend!
