Our first full day in London Town. Let me start by saying, our London schedule was madness. We knew it going in. But we planned this trip to be a “trip of a lifetime” trip. We wanted to squeeze in as much as we could in our time here. Would I recommend it? I am …
We woke up in York ready to go. We checked out of our hotel and stashed our luggage and then walked over the river into town and it was delightful. All the hustle and craziness of the night before was gone. The streets were deserted. Traditional English Breakfast Today we had a lot of traditional …
This day will always be a sweet and tender memory for me. When we decided to go to England, I knew I wanted to have my family history be a part of it. Mark has some English ancestry, but it is very distant, so he wasn’t as interested in that for England. But I have …
This was my favorite day of our entire trip. We got up and walked down the High Street in Chipping Campden to have some breakfast. And it was just so sweet. We loved hearing the locals all come in, talk to each other by name, and check in on the older residents. It felt just …

Mark and I just came back from the loveliest trip to England. We created memories that I will cherish forever. It was my first time leaving the country and as someone who has always yearned to see and experience new cultures and places this was a dream come true for me. We could not have …

We had such a lovely week in Utah visiting family and enjoying some big events. Mark had to work so it was just the kiddos and me on this trip. Little Nora When we got to my parents home in Draper we were greeted by them, my sister, Megan, and little Nora. We hadn’t seen …
