We're Here!

Rebecca, my sister-in-law, has accepted and will be doing guest blogging about once a week during their time in England this upcoming year! If you have any questions for Rebecca feel free to leave a comment with the question or e-mail me at southernalcinderella@gmail.com and I will tell her! I'm sure she would LOVE to answer your questions about their time in England.

"Here is a little chronicle of our trip so far.

1. We leave Mobile - sad day!


2. We fly over New Jersey - covered in snow!

3. A huge frozen lake in New Jersey.

4. The Statue of Liberty! - sorry about the quality, the iPhone zoom sucks! 5. Arrive in England - it's a little damp, but happy to arrive after 4 flights! (Mobile-Houston-New Jersey-Brussels-Bristol)

6. This is what kept Kyle happy. There were electrical outlets under the seats to plug in laptops and charge phones etc. So glad we had the laptop because they charged $6 to watch TV on one of our flights!


7. A few days ago we walked through a little coastal town with the puppies.

8. We walked through the town and on to the beach where little Stevie was very cold!

9. She kept shivering so I rubbed her back to keep her warm.

10. I wrapped my cute faux fur scarf from Brookstone scarf around her to ensure there was no cold air getting in!

11. We walked back along the cliffs - Magnum loved it because English rules are more relaxed about having your dog on a leash and all the dogs were really well behaved so Magnum ran off and played with about 5 dogs and he was very well behaved too!
12. Going home in the car Rhianna wanted to make sure Magnum's ears weren't cold. :)"



13. Alesha loves stevie! She's making it her mission to fatten her up and keep her warm and toasty. It's really not even that cold but poor little Stevie has like 0% body fat!


 14. The other day we went to Costa Coffee which is like Starbucks and Kyle ordered a large, which was especially large even by his standards!

15. We walked into town yesterday and Kyle wanted to take a picture on the bench he sat on with your mom.

16. It had just rained so we were kind of slipping and sliding down the hill, but it was nice to get fresh air and exercise!

17. Happy to be here, but missing y'all!


Today is my Grandad's 91st birthday lunch and tomorrow we're off to Rome - more pics will of course follow!

London Part 2

The first night in London we took some some underground subways to Picadilly and looked at looked around. There were many wonderful window displays, my fav's were in Harrod's windows! There were some street performers in the main center of the roundabout in Piccadilly.

After much walking and riding we caught a little appetite and decided to find some food from a little pizza/calzone restauraunt. All the food was premade and they pressed it and it was nice and toasty.

After a good night's rest we woke up early to go into London and do our sightseeing! When we arrived at the airport to get on the train to main London, we were buying our tickets and Rebecca said I was her child (i was in the bathroom and they didn't see me) and so I got my trian ticket for 1 euro! while everyone elses was 8 euros :) There's a plus to being small :) Here I am showing off my CHILD train ticket!
We had to have some Starbucks to make sure we would be energized all day:)
There were many musicals available in London to go and see. Nick Jonas from The Jonas Brothers was even in town starring in Les Miserables.
Next up, our Sightseeing Tour on the Double Decker..where was again, I got charged for a child ticket!On the tour we also saw a disco-glitter VW van, a gate that cost over $1 million dollars, some school kids on a field trip, and the Queen's chemist!

Some more sight-seeing pics of the main attractions are coming up later this week!
Have a great week!
