Alnwick Castle

 Alnwick Castle is also known as the Harry Potter castle because the first two movies were filmed there.  It is still a private residence, but they have added things to make it a tourist attraction.
 There is training to become a king or queen or knights and ladies.











 There is also some wizarding training available.

Scotland

 We absolutely fell in love with Scotland.  It is magical and amazing.  We hope to be able to take many more trips to Scotland before our time here in England is over.

 Someone didn't want to climb the mountain.









 In Kilmarnock we went to a History center to find information about Curtis' ancestors.
 Hugh Brown is Curtis' 5 times grandfather.

 Haggis, which everyone enjoyed until they learned what it is made of.

Beach Day


We live with an hours drive from many beaches along the Norfolk coastline.  But since it is England it is rarely warm enough to play in the water.  The beaches are often rocky and the weather is often gray and cloudy.  But that doesn't stop 4 water-loving babies.  It does, however, stop me.  I would rather sit and read that get near that freezing water.
