There is nothing sweeter than having your husband wake you up by saying - Happy Mother's Day, and then having your two sweet daughters say the same thing the minute they see you. I feel very blessed to have such a wonderful and thoughtful family and they have made this a great day. However, since it is NOT Mother's Day in England - they had to buy me birthday cards and cross out the word birthday and write in mother's day. I give my husband a lot of credit for his creativity and I will always remember that these were the Mother's Day cards from when we were living in England. So today we were off on another weekend family adventure - we decided to make our way to York to finally explore this quaint little town. I posted some information about York a few weeks ago, if you want some history on the town you can read it there. It is described as having exquisite architecture, a tangle of quaint cobbled streets and the iconic York Minster. It definitely met the description. We walked around on the cobbled streets, which are lined with shops, restaurants and coffee houses. We went down by the river and walked through a park that takes you to the York Museum, which was unfortunately closed for renovations. And we saw the York Minster. We had to laugh when Gerbie called the Roman ruins "rocks" and my husband had the line of the day - "look honey, it is something big and old". Seriously though, we are still enjoying all the sightseeing, but it definitely does not hold the same excitement as it did when we first got here and saw our first 'big and old'________ (fill in the blank with cathedral, castle, minster or tower). As for York, we would definitely go back to spend more time there. There were a lot of things that we did not get a chance to see and a lot of different museums that you could spend an entire day in. The picture of the family together is in front of the York Minster. Happy birthday, I mean Mother's Day to everyone!
