Our kids on the coast planned a birthday dinner for their dad since we had to travel to that side of the state to fly out on Sunday. It was a lovely dinner and time together. I wanted to document it before Oxford takes over in my posts. Our kids on our side of the mountains had a delicious meal for Gramps on his day and we didn’t take a photo. Addy and JJ made cards for Gramps. All the kids went in on a very nice gift, too.
Off we go. We arrived and we are settling into our apartment for the next 9 days.
After we got settled we stepped out to find something for dinner. We passed the Wesley Memorial Methodist church. I’m always attracted to old substantial doors and doorways.
We enjoyed a traditional steak and ale pie and conversation with a couple from Finland and a young lady from Thailand.
Hopefully we’ll have a good nights sleep after being up for many hours and crossing too many time zones. Cheers!
Enjoy every moment!
I agree with Barbara — Enjoy every moment!!
…have a great time.
Good to know you made it ! Lovely to have the celebration with your coast kids (and the ones closer to home too) before you left. Have a super wonderful time!
Have a wonderful time!!!!
Glad you’re getting settled after your long flight. Have a great time!
So nice that you were able to have a couple of celebrations before your trip! May you have a lovely visit in Oxford!
Ellen – so glad you made it across the pond safely. Our daughter arrived in the UK on Sunday and is already having a super time with her grandparents! We will be there in six weeks and I can already taste the pies!
That birthday meal sounds lovely and perfect before your departure. Have a wonderful time and I hope you’re not too jet lagged. B x
Hello,
Sounds like a great trip, have fun and take lots of photos. Take care, enjoy your day!
It’s a special gift to be celebrated by your children.
I’m so glad that everything worked out for you to be able to make this trip, Ellen! I wasn’t sure how it would all work out with the Queen’s passing. I pray that you two have a wonderful wonderful time!
Thank you so much, Dianna!
Wishing you safe and happy travels! Beautiful photos!
Have a wonderful time.
Safe travels.
