Our wonderful trip also included time in England. We visited family friends in South Yorkshire and then down to London. We had great weather and a great time.

What Rocked about the Trip (England)

1. Seeing old friends – stayed with family friends in their home, which still has the original structure apart of the house. That part is 17th Century. An amazing home, right up with the manor house we had just stayed in. Also saw a former co-worker who hung out with us for a couple of days.
   
2. York – A great day wandering through the Cathedral, the Shambles and the Castle Museum. That Cathedral, not too shabby.
   
3. Chatsworth – An amazing English Estate and Garden. It was a picture perfect day and we strolled through this amazing home, with its priceless art and architecture and stunning ground.
   
4. Hadden Hall – Nothing like spending time looking at a Medieval Hall.
   
5. London – London is never having to go to New York again. It is a beautiful city with so much to see and offer, and unlike New York. A shit load less urine smell. The Tubes were clean and city was pretty clean. I know there are some scary ass places in London if you go south of the River, but I will take it over New York and Chicago.
   
6. The Tower – It was a lot of fun spending a day wandering around the Tower taking the tour and just seeing this amazing pile of rocks.
   
7. Look kids Big Ben and Parliament – They are even more impressive seeing them in person.
   
8. Public Transit – Being from Southern California I thought it was just a legend they told kids.
   
9. History – It is the only thing that really reeked in England was history. From the Tower, the Estates, the National Gallery to the British Museum. It is history all day and all night. I could have spent all of our time in London at the British Museum. Holy shit that was off the heezzie (Again for the kids). For someone who loves history this is porn. The only other thing that matches this is going to the Huntington and being taken to the back to look at actual Mark Twain documents. Sports and History. I am a sad little man.
   
10. The Prime Meridian –You have not lived till you have stood at 0.
    
11. Again my better half for planning this and showing me London. We only scratched the surface, so we a lot that needs to be seen.
