British Aisles

 Beau earned a British Isles Cruise through work.  We were so excited to be able to head back to where he had served his mission.  We flew out three days before so we could visit some of his mission.  We flew into London and caught a train to York we dropped our things with the former bishop from one of his wards who kindly let us stay with him and headed up to Doncaster to visit a family he had taught.  We had a delicious curry and a fun evening chatting and letting Beau and them catch up.  The next day we had a proper English breakfast and toured York.  Then hopped a train back to London where we saw My Fair Lady.  The next day we did a double decker bus tour of London and headed to our ship.  On our cruise we visited Belfast Ireland where we met up with an old mission friend of Beau's named Ben and his wife Heather.  They took us around for the day and it was incredible.  The next day we went to Edinburgh, the third stop was Liverpool.  Then Cobh and Cork Ireland and our last stop was Portland Dorset England.  The pictures keep loading backwards so they go from the last day to the first.

WWII Museum in Portland England.  You could climb in and on everything.  It was crazy interactive.
