Hope you're ready for A LOT of pictures!

Brady had a long weekend so we headed out on a little adventure with our friends The Swinton Family. They have two little girls and Millie adores them. It's so fun to watch her play with the girls.
Anyway, I have a ton of pictures here so get settled...

Saturday we stop in Winchester on our way to Portsmouth

Winchester Cathedral

Jane Austin was buried there

Mary Olivia and Millie

Winchester was such a cute little town

Wolvesey Castle was destroyed in 1646 during the English Civil War

We spent that night in a Marriott Hotel in Portsmouth and really it was so nice! Brady and I share a tiny bed here and we had a King, we went swimming, plus we woke up to an American breakfast ! Thank you Marriott.

Sunday morning we went to church and set out to see Portsmouth. We toured around a little and then headed on to to Arundel to see yet another castle. It was so amazing. It really has been my favorite castle so far!

We spent the second half of our day in Brighton and it was a blast. It didn't feel like Mother's Day, but it didn't matter. I was with my family and friends doing what I love...going on RIDES!

That night we ate dinner at a little Italian place that was pretty good once they brought our food.

Millie liked it!

Leaving Brighton the traffic was at a stand still so Isha jumped out for a photo of the Royal Palace. It was really cool, we toured it earlier in the day. It's nothing like what you think of when you picture an English Royal Palace.

Monday Brady and I took Millie to see Windsor Castle. It's the oldest castle that is still in use today. They mentioned that the Queen lives there on the weekends. It was pretty neat but what I liked the most was a doll house that was an exact replica of the castle. The Queen's niece had it made for her. It really was astounding.

This is such a Brady face. I Love him.

I know this is a silly picture but I love it, Smile lines and all.

This must be where the Mad Hatter lives...
