Wednesday was a down day for Rhys, but not for the rest of us. Rhys needed to stay in and nest for a day. We left him with strict instructions not to leave the boat. (Narrator - Rhys would leave the boat).
Tracy, Hannah and I walked down to the river taxi and took that back to Tower pier.

This was our first full day in London. It was a busy one.

The 18th was a travel day, Nottingham to London. The train didn't leave until 1130 so we had time to lay in a bit and get breakfast. We took a taxi from Kings Cross to the Limehouse Marina.

The morning of the 17th we woke up at a reasonable time, grabbed some coffee and bacon baps and got on a train for Nottingham. It was a five hour ride south to the city of lead. This is the part of the trip that Rhys was most looking forward to. More than anything he wanted to go to Warhammer World.
Saturday the 16th was my first day of vacation, finally able to join the family enjoying some time off. Today we were headed up to Edinburgh, along with several of my co-workers and their families. We all had one last train ride together before we split off to do our own things.

We haven't been a big vacation for several years. This year we're doing both the UK (Tracy, Rhys, Hannah and I) and Spain (Owyn).
I came out for work a week before everyone else, then we're spending the week after here in the UK. Meanwhile, Owyn is on a school trip to Spain with his Spanish class.
On Sunday the 10th, my co-workers and I visited Fountains Abbey. This is one of Tracy and my favorites from when we lived here twenty two years ago.
