We left for the airport at 2:55pm. Nathan dropped us off at the airport. By the time we make it through the security checkpoints and arrive at our gate we had about 2 1/2 hours to wait. But I think we were all happy to get out of our house and begin the journey...
We board the plane to England at 9:15. The kids watch Cheaper by the Dozen II while Jenny and I try to sleep. At midnight Judah turned 11. We arrived at Heathrow at 10:00am. Jackie is hot, tired, exhausted; she throws up in a doggy bag on the plane after we have landed. But is very brave about it. We catch the Tube to Charing Cross station, then exit: right into Trafalgar Square. Amazing. Powerful. So much history took place there. We hike to Regent Street to pick up our Heritage Passes that we have purchased. Then, after some confusion (we're still trying to figure out the Tube and Train system) we locate the train to Canterbury; about 1 1/2 hour trip.
In Canterbury we walk to our bed and breakfast, Grey Friars; then went to a birthday dinner for Judah. I had Beef and Kidney, Jacob roast beef, Jenny the soup of the day, Judah and Julian the hamburger, Jackie chicken and chips...
