France

I finally figured out how to make a slide show! I think this is the easiest and fastest way to post these.... Time for bed :) I'll have to summarize the trip next time.

England in a Nutshell

So It's been awhile... I know. But I'm new to this *blog* thing. And I'm finally getting around to posting again. We have had a crazy couple of months, our summer started late being that Aaron spent May/June/July studying for the Bar Exam. So we decided to celebrate with my dream trip to England and France. Basically I've been planning this trip for the last six years and it was the perfect time to take the trip with Aaron finally done with law school and having taken the bar... We are ready to get on with our lives! So we pooled our Marriott points and Sky miles and were on our way.

Aaron was a little apprehensive at first being that he's never been to Europe, but once we got there he was like a kid in a candy store. We have well over 1,000 pictures of our trip and he was the number 1 photographer. I was so excited to take him back to where I use to live, introduce him to my friends, and explore places together. We got so lucky and ended up having sunshine the entire time, Aaron doesn't know the 'real' England with misting rain and overcast, maybe one day he will.

Following England we took the Chunnel over to Paris. I'll post about France next time, but below are some favorite pics of the trip in England.

England- BridgeNorth

View from High Town- Bridge North is made up to 2 parts, High Town and Low Town... Basically High Town is on top of the hill and low town is down by the river.
