Our neighbors invited us to take a trip to visit Liverpool and see the Lake District. Jon is from Liverpool, so we got a personal tour and we were invited to stay with Jon's family.
Liverpool is on the east side of the Mersey Estuary which is mongo.
It was founded in 1207 as a borough.
We all fell in love with Jon's family and their dog Leo. He gets his teeth brushed every night with liver flavored toothpaste, most definitely a highlight of our time in England.
From there we drove up to the adorable Lake District cottage we found online. It smelled funny and was TONS smaller than it appeared in the photos, but the boys adored that it was built over 4 floors. The kitchen was in the basement and the photo below shows how we boiled pasta in 4 teeny pots to feed our troops.
Despite the inconveniences and the awkward family photos, we had a great time.
An amazing thing I learned that weekend, was that there are people in the world who have never tried pbj! Both Etch and Jon had their first taste of the gloriousness that is peanut butter and jelly brought together in holy union.
Hopefully it is the first of many.
We took a boat ride tour of Lake Windemere, and it was FREEZING!! But also absolutely beautiful. Dominic is a little light on body fat and needed to be swaddled.
We visited the aquarium.
Then we caught a ride back to Windemere.
We are forever grateful that our adventure brought us to meet Etch and Jon and Kyle. We never imagined we would fall so madly in love.
