Hi there ... here are a few more pictures to show you ... Monday we went in to Bristol .... have I said before what crazy drivers these British people are? We saw 2 accidents on the way in in a roundabout ... No one seems to like to stop here.
Anyway, Bristol is a very large modern city, with very old castle remains in the centre of it. This picture was taken on the grounds of the old castle (the ditch behind the guys was part of the original moat) and a church, bombed in the war. The kids also enjoyed the wooden, medieval themed playground, where we ate lunch.
Yesterday we went to London by train. What a fantastic city. We headed to Picadilly circus and walked around Buckingham Palace (in the picture) the parliament buildings, and of course, the great ferris wheel. The city is very clean and orderly - with tons of Italian tourists around. The sculptures in the public places are really wonderful.It was a very long day - we didn't get home until midnight, so the kids were all asleep in the train on the way home. They have asked for a "day at home" today ... it is 11 and we are all still in jammies!
I'll leave you with a view from the 
"Eye" (the ferris wheel) ... See you all soon! The Browns

Yikes, you guys went up in that ferris wheel???? CCCOOOOLLLL!!!!!
I must say, you have kept very active in your vacation and I can understand your need to relax one day. Perhaps exploring the neighbourhood will result in meeting some kids to play with or some secret treasures that kids always seem to find.
All is well in this part of the world. Well, except for Rick, but then you know him.....lol....
I gave your message tonight at meeting. Couple of people forgot where you went, but all miss you, Steve.
Looking forward to your next adventure.
Hello Brown Family
Just thinking about your wonderful vacation before I toddle off to work.
How did your talk go, Steve? Bet you felt so good afterwards. Hope you SPOKE UP!!!! Hahahaha
I would love to hear from the kids and their impressions of what they have seen, smelled, heard, touched. It's always so interesting to get a child's prespective.
