On vacation...as the Americans would say!

Tuesday 3rd March arrived and at 6:30 a.m. I was all packed and ready for my lift to arrive to take me the airport. Chris arrived on time and I was fairly calm going to Machester and only checked that I had my passport and tickets three times.

The flight to Philadelphia was probably the best trans Atlantic flight I've ever had. I had the middle four seats to myself which meant I could stretch out. I watched 'Australia' and sobbed, 'The Dark Knight' and spend half of it behind my pillow and then 'Mamma Mia' and found myself singing along. It would not have been a pleasant trip for anyone sitting next to me!

Janette and Owen came to pick me up from the airport, and that's when my vacation really began and I started taking photos!

Owen loves 'The Wiggles' and 'Blues Clues' and would just sit cross legged glued to the tele! This was very helpful when I watched him whilst Janette had to go into work for a meeting and the carpet fitters were making a huge amount of noise in the basement which woke Owen from his afternoon nap!

Whilst Owen watched the tele I entertained Nathan...

We went to the Mall and Owen went on the train which he loved...

...but wasn't very happy when he was put back in the pram :-)

Nathan hanging out in his pack 'n' play...

Nathan sleeping...

and chillin'...
On our way back from the outlets...

Whilst I was there I went to Eddie's 5th birthday party (Janette's nephew). The party was at Eddie's grandparents house and all his aunts, uncles and cousins were there. It was absolutely crazy but a lot of fun!!! Owen had lots of fun playing out in the garden whilst I sat on one of those garden hammock swings with Nathan.

Whist we were there went for lots of walks which was a good job as we ate out a lot...

In Applebees...

In Cracker Barrel, which I think was my favourite!

I could eat pancakes and syrup for breakfast every morning...

...and then a Five Guys Burger for lunch!!!

Another photo of Nathan. And Owen helping trying to pick Nathan up which he wasn't too impressed about!

But didn't seem to mind Owen helping at bathtime.

Had a really great holiday, felt really relaxed and chilled. Loved seeing you guys, thanks for letting me come and stay :-) I'll be back to visit again soon....
