Dinosaur Park and the Beach UK 2015

So the last few days have been filled with lots of good old wholesome fun!

A couple of days ago I hopped on a train to London then the tube to Terminal 5 to Heathrow airport so I could surprise auntie Kelly while Charlotte spent some quality time with grandma and grandad!

I drove back with Auntie Kelly and it's been a mad house ever since!!

We took Charlotte to dinosaur adventure park (a dinosaur themed fun park) just outside Norwich which is about 40 mins away. 
The next day Tracy came over, they had a "Frozen" evening followed by a trip to the beach! 
Suffice to say we have both been having a ball! 
Onto the pics .....

At the train station

Passing my old school on the train


The ambush!

Coffee at Costa Kings Lynn 

Frozen evening! Charlotte doing her normal "acting!" 

The girls "clucking" and playing dress up before we leave for the dinosaur adventure park 




Milking a cow! (Not a real one!)



A frightfully "British" sign! 
Couldn't resist taking this pic. I believe the US equivalent would simply say "DONT FEED THE ANIMALS" lol
One wouldn't want to adopt bad manners after all! 😄






















Feeding the chickens ... Again!
She loves to collect eggs from the "chicken kook" LOL



Off to the beach ...


Super excited!!








Strike a pose!

Aaaaand out!

Couple playing with her friend "Teddy the daaaawwggg!!"



Hopefully Oliver gets to come soon too he would have had so much fun. 

Tomorrow we are off to the airport to have dinner and spend the night before heading back to the US the following day

Our trip to the UK! April 2015

I managed to arrange a trip to the UK for a week for Charlotte and I. 
We arrived yesterday (April 9th) connecting through Charlotte NC, arriving in London Heathrow at 11:30am after our 7-1/2 hour overnight flight across the pond. 
Up until this point the only time she has flown was once for 35 mins on a private jet with mummy, aunt B and her brother (we should all be so lucky!). 
I'm pleased to say that she did fantastic and so far has been a joy to travel with!

Here are some pictures of our adventures ... Day 1 and 2!


Waiting at our gate in Nashville 

On board our flight to Charlotte 

The crew took a liking to our Charlie belle and put her in the captains chair! 
If she can figure out an Xbox, she can figure out this Airbus!

Found a friend in Charlotte NC

Pulling her trunkie through the airport 

On board our Airbus A330-200 to Heathrow at 10:30pm east coast time! 

2hrs later!
Slept for 5 hours!!

She was so excited once she woke up but after disembarking the aircraft, going through passport control, and waiting for our bags she started to run out of steam!

 Then we went through where grandma and grandad were waiting ...

That's it for now more to come later.
