England Trip Gary and Andrew

Gary and Andrew went to a Butterfly hot house and had some fun. Not too many places are open this time of season. So when they saw this open they took advantage of some warmth and something fun to do. 










 Not quite the same Bonmarche they are used to seeing. Well I guess it is called Macy's now. 





Andrew was intrigued at how old everything was. And with that some times they fall apart. 



Andrew and Gary stayed a few nights with Gary's sister. Aunt Dominque and Jonathon,  what a cool house they live in. 


I personally love her smart car. How cute is that. 


Andrew felt right at home with Jonathon and Olivia and the i-toys.....


 What a cutie in her new shirt from America! Sorry I could not find one to fit Dominique!  


The boys took a trip up to Wem and looked up Gary's old Grammar school that he went to. Back then it was an all boys boarding school. Now it is Co-ed. He went and walked around the school and one of the teachers remembered him. Wow he must be really old!  




This is part of the dorm rooms. 

Andrew found it interesting that Gary actually dried his cloths on this. Hmmm..he really is old. 


Some of the old buildings in the area. 

I have a feeling Gary spent a few fun evenings in this castle...


Gary explained to Andrew that some of these buildings were built to be decoys during the war. So that they would bomb these and not the real buildings. 



This is one of the city centers that they did shopping in. 




Gary's parents live in Wisbech. They spent a few days with them visiting and eating well. Gary's dad spoiled them cooking and doing their laundry. They had a great time catching up and helping Gary's Dad buy a new computer.  I think he is all set up now. We are glad that he now has a lap top and Skype from anywhere in the house. 



They also spent time with Gary's other sisters. But I do not believe any photos where taken with them. Too bad. Denise and Donna are quite the characters. I love them all. I am sorry I missed the party. 

The trip went great and I am very glad they made the trip. It was fun to have the iphone and the ipad to be able to do face time with each other. We talked about twice a day while he was gone. Love it!
