An Awfully Big Adventure, Part 1

My half-English son has, after 22 months, finally been to England. It was a short trip - a scant 12 days - but we made a triangle route around the country. We traveled to the West Country to Derbyshire to York and to Canterbury in our trusty VW rental before heading into London.

The Boy played in his grandparents' garden with his cousins, ran around his great-grandmother's house - taking great care to test her antique keyboard with his chubby fingers, he then played with more cousins before stomping around Canterbury and trying to wake Chaucer from the dead.

So here's The Boy in his grandparents' garden

And still in the garden, working with his auntie and cousins

Here's The Boy terrorizing his great grandmother

And taking his first turn on a scooter

And eating at Wagamama in Canterbury with his namesake

And enjoying a post-dinner walk by Canterbury Cathedral with his dad

That last one's kind of artsy, no?

Next up, London!
