My parents are on their way to visit us!! And if you know my hubby and how he loves road trips, when him and my father were planning this "surprise" visit (surprise didn't last long :)), Ruben decided we'd drive to London to pick them up!!
So here we are on another road adventure and the kids as always, are doing great, it's mommy who gets exhausted! But Ruben is de-stressing, driving does that for him.
Friday after school we drove 50 minutes, checked out a car dealer, bought a car for Ruben, then kept going and finally arrived at our hotel in Rosslare 5 hours after leaving home!
Boys woke earlier than necessary, very excited for a ferry ride!
8:45 the Isle of Inishmore ferry set off and 4 hours later we were driving off the ferry in Pembroke, Wales. The ferry was great the first 2 hours, there is a kids play area, children's theatre, games room, but come hour 3, they were ready to get off!
3 hours after that we were in Bath, England, but not soon enough to see the Roman Baths :(
Oh well, save that for another day. A very cute city tho! Stunning setting, surrounded by hills, very lush and green, just gorgeous.
After a walk around Bath, off to Chippenham for the night.
Sunday AM we got to a special tiny meeting just outside of Chippenham, then headed over to the Stonehenge. I wasn't really interested to go, Ruben had been and thought I should go. Once there, it's like, WOW, amazing. Hearing the story behind it all and still to this day the big question on really why they went to all that effort to make it, verses all the speculation.... Anyway, I'm glad we went!
1 hour after that we were at our second home, the Sofitel at Terminal 5 at London Heathrow!
Today Ruben is off working, we are hanging out in the hotel and have something hopefully exciting for the kids at 7PM... the London Eye!! (Mommy wants to do this)
Then the most exciting thing, Papa and Bama arrive bright and early tomorrow! We cannot wait!
I worry about the boys missing another 3 days of school, but really, they are getting way more education on this little jaunt! And we will do our homework :)
