Pools Across the Pond: COUSINS FOR CHRISTMAS
http://poolsacrossthepond.blogspot.com/2012/12/cousins-for-christmas.html
Wednesday, 26 December 2012. Angie and the kids have arrived just in time for the Christmas holidays! We picked them up at the airport on Saturday and have been on the go ever since. We took them on a tour of our town and Avery's school. Avery enjoys being the "tour guide". We walked into town for an early dinner then headed back so they could get some much needed rest. They are adjusting well to the time difference. On Sunday, we went into central London to visit Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. We did o...

Sunday, 3 March 2013. Well we feel a bit more learn'ed now! 142 different nations are currently represented. 13 Prime Ministers attended university at Oxford. The learning is delivered one on one with the student and his/her assigned tutor. The students all live at the college and dine together in the dining hall. Oxford is regularly ranked 1 or 2 in the world by a number of publications. Hundreds of famous writers and poets have attended the university including CS Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. The procedur...

Wednesday, 9 January 2013. My sis, Tracy would have really apprecitated the tour. She would have answered all the quiz questions correctly! I will go again with you sis when you come to visit! Before we left London, we headed to Kings Cross Station to see Platform 9 3/4. This is the platform where Harry and his friends caught the Hogwarts Express! It was a fun night! On way to Hogwarts. These people take treason seriously! On New Year's Day, it was a beautiful, sunny day, but cold! It was a great two wee...

Tower of London and Tower Bridge. She loves the...

Saturday, 28 July 2012. It was a memorable night we will never forget. BACK IN THE USA! It was an exhasuting, yet very rewrding two weeks in China. We drove from China to Hong Kong on Tuesday evening then departed on Wednesday morning for the US. It would have been nice to see more of Hong Kong, but it was dark and rainy when we arrived. There was a typhoon that had come through the day before! Waiting to board plane for Houston. We are so excited to be back home for a little while we complete paperwork ...

Thursday, 21 February 2013. Ski dans les Alpes françaises! For Avery's Winter break, we went skiing in the French Alps in Tignes, France! The trip was more special because we went with our Texas friends, The Richards'. We took the train from London all the way to the resort. This was Zachary's favourite part since he LOVES trains! It was a long day of travel but we all survived even though we were late for a connection in Paris which made us miss our train! The snow was perfect. Fluffy powder! All the ki...

Wednesday, 31 October 2012. Happy Birthday, Avery. Avery's birthday party was a hit! They played Sweet Shoppe Bingo and went on a scavenger hunt. I think Zachary had just as much fun. He was right there in the middle of it all and wanted to do whatever the girls were doing! Avery enjoyed her 8th birthday with all her England friends! Happy about her new Uggs! Tuesday, 30 October 2012. Maybe we were the oddballs not bathing, not sure. All in all it was a nice getaway that was very relaxing. When we re...

Thursday, 22 November 2012. Giving thanks all the way from London. It's not quite the same as being at home with family this Thanksgiving but we are making the best of it from afar! Today, we attended a American Thanksgiving service at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. (All I could think about was Lady Diana and her long train as I walked up the steps of the cathedral)! We wish everyone back home a Happy Thanksgiving and Go Texans! St Paul's Cathedral in London. Tuesday, 6 November 2012. Avery's school hos...
