Our trip over was great minus one little mess on the drive to the airport. Mommy left her chocolate eggs in Reese's carseat cup holder while she was fast asleep. We had to make a quick pit-stop for magazines and while Mommy and Daddy ran inside quickly, Reese decided to wake up and get into the chocolate eggs! Grandpa Dickers was in the car but thought she was playing with a toy mommy had left her. We came back to the car and Reese's mouth was covered in chocolate! Oops Mommy....chocolate eggs are NOT for babies!! Good thing we had a wee bit of extra time built in for a clean-up and quick change.
The actual flight over was pretty uneventful, Reese sleeping most of the way here. She had a rough couple of hours the first night here but adjusted better than we did to the 5 hour time change. She was back to her usual routine the second day here.
As for the city, we absolutely love it. Our apartment is great and seems to be in a really good location. Close to cafe's, restaurants, and shops. The downtown and castle are about a 10 minute walk from our place. There are some great running trails along the castle grounds and along the river that runs through the city. In fact, the great running trails have inspired me to do a 1/2 marathon in March in Bath. It's supposed to be a beautiful course and one of the top road races in the U.K. Good thing I will have someone to train with so I stay motivated!
Hockey seems to be coming along. The first two games weren't great but the team is getting in better shape each day. Scott just found out he was picked for an all-star team that will play an exhibition game against the Boston Bruins in Belfast. The team is comprised of top players from the British league so is quite an honor. The game will be a final tune-up for Boston before they start their regular season the following week in London.
Here are just a couple pics from our first couple days here. More to come soon!
