"Thats enough Pictures Mommy"

Today we road in the top of a double decker bus to Swanage. The route the bus took happens to go across Poole Harbour on a ferry. It was quite the ride going on the ferry up top. I still feel a little dizzy from it. Too bad for Lara, it had to be the rainiest, coldest day to go. For lunch we went to a small fish and chips joint, the fish was caught by Ramion and the potatoes were provided by Mary Tipsis. I love the local feel there. From Swanage we boarded the Steam Train and travelled to the ruins of Corfe Castle. Corfe Castle is a ten year olds dream come true. I would have loved to be there when i was younger and run around with friends pretending to be there back then fighting off attacks and attending fancy feasts and balls. But then again we had to go on a cool and rainy day so we didn't do too much pretending. On the bus ride home we were on a double decker again but this time half of the roof was missing on the back half. Rain, cold, not for me but Lara being from the arctic of Edmonton road all the way home up top in the open cold and rainy night. I would love to ride like that in the summer, you couldn't pay me to do it in December. Tomorrow we are headed to London. We're going to watch Les Miserables at the Queens Theatre and do some exploring. I love having visitors. It makes you feel like a tourist all over again. Oh and the pictures are not edited, the grass just gets greener and greener here. I'm still not use to it. Oh and the title to this blog, Raven was really mad the entire trip. She was cold, she was tired and she was hungry (there was no way she was going to eat our fish and chips). I kept on taking pictures and she kept on saying "thats enough pictures Mommy". I can't help it that she's so cute. Am I the only one that has over two thousand pictures of my 2 1/2 year old?

They still have lots of buildings with thatched roofs.

This is Beck, Tyler's wife. And I'm with Suzi, I'd love to go see all those castles and stuff. How fun that would be and I don't think I'd share the fish and chips either. :)
