Back to Buzzard

Boats passing the Lock

The Globe Inn

A very pleasant way to get away on a sunny day is to go to Leighton Buzzard and take a hike along the Grand Union Canal up to the Old Globe Inn for a bite on the terrace. Today, the last day in August, we brought the boys.

Jolly Holiday

Sophia on Woody

 One week on the beach in Devon and we are spoiled. The weather cooperated and we spent time in the heated pool, building castles and a BBQ on the beach, playing in the parks, and when it rained the last day we went to the Library and watched Chuggington Videos. One highlight was our steam train ride to Dartmouth where the Mayflower set sail in 1620. For a little port it has quite the history. One night Barb and I had a seafood evening overlooking the harbor which reinvigorated my love for the sea. The only drawback was the Medieval couch we used as a bed. :-)

The Olympics are in full swing and last weekend we had the girls up by themselves in Luton. In honor of the games we had our own sort of Junior Olympics, with a trip to the Discovery Center at Stockwood Park followed this week by Sophia's swimming lessons.
