In April we were scheduled to be back in Washington D.C. for IJM’s yearly Global Prayer Gathering (GPG). Every year IJM will fly Jesse & myself back to attend this great event. Since we’ve now been in Uganda for a year... yep, let me say that again....ONE FULL YEAR! We thought we would go ahead and extend our trip by two weeks, and bring the kiddos with us as well. So I’ll post a little bit each day on each of our stops...
STOP ONE: Wales via London, England
We arrived in London to visit my parents for 5 days. They actually live in Carlisle which is in the northern most part of England. (right on the border of Scotland). They decided that instead of driving 6 hours up to Carlise, they would drive 5 hours to a rented place in Wales, and we would spend our time there. Jesse has said that my parents should publish a coffee table book titled, “Very Cool Guest Houses In the Middle of Nowhere”. That really just sums it up.

It was a great time to decompress. The kids were a little sick, so that was no fun, but it was nice to just sit and relax.
When we first got there, Rachel got so excited that she could drink water from the tap and that milk came from a carton, “just like in America, mom!”. Awwww the joys of children. :) Okay I was pretty excited about it myself.
We had a wonderful time catching up with my parents. & letting them get up at 6am with the kids. We also went to a castle, ate fish & chips, and saw lots of sheep. Yep a typical day in the U.K.
