Did we go to the UK again? We sure did!
Jan. 10th, 2025 07:46 amDrew and West love British soccer, but the British soccer games schedule runs from late August to May, leaving the best time for us to visit, aka the summer, bereft of any games for them to go to. They really wanted to go to a Liverpool game. And West's Christmas vacation this year was over two weeks. So, we thought, what better time than the present to take a trip to the UK during the actual soccer season?

We went to Scotland!
Aug. 14th, 2022 03:13 pmIn the grand tradition of only updating here when we go on vacation, here's a run-down of our trip to Scotland. Started planning this trip in 2019 and booked it all for summer 2020. And... it took a couple of years to actually get there. Amazingly, we were able to push all our accommodation reservations ahead, first to 2021, then to 2022.

Ireland Vacation!
Aug. 15th, 2021 09:44 amWell, we were supposed to go to Scotland in August 2020, had to postpone that trip to 2021 due to Covid, and then had to postpone it AGAIN, so maybe we'll get to Scotland next year. In the meantime, back in June 2021 we were freshly vaccinated and full of optimism for the Hot Vax Summer in store for all of us (cue sardonic sad laughter). We booked a last minute trip to Ireland when the Irish government opened up international arrivals for fully vaxxed Americans. It seemed like a good idea at the time! The Covid situation here in the US has continued to worsen dramatically over the past month, and honestly if we knew how bad it would be, we probably would have thought twice about traveling. However, it all worked out! Amazingly! I'm glad we went, we needed to get away so badly. West is too young for the vaccine, so we worked out an elaborate plan for him to go to his first ever sleepover camp, in Maine, for the two weeks we were gone. My dad and stepmom helped with West logistics and were on standby for emergencies. Luckily, no emergencies arose, we all managed to get through multiple negative Covid testing requirements, and we pulled it off. It was VERY STRESSFUL to deal with the potential risks of any of us popping up a positive test result. Ok, onward to the trip report! I'll try to add some pics at some point.

This is getting obnoxious, but we are Anglophiles, and we needed a good vacation. So, we went to the UK again! For almost 2 weeks! With a bunch of my college friends and their families! The whole trip went smashingly well, we had a fantastic time.
Here's the play-by-play, will try to add pics and/or links later:

This is getting ridiculous...
Sep. 7th, 2018 09:02 pmWe went to England again! At the end of August, again! It feels obnoxious to have gone to England two years in a row, but it was amazing, and as usual, I'm going to memorialize it here. ( More after the cut! )
