So, you’d think with a flight in 17 hours, we might be getting our sleep and be tidying up the final pieces for our trip, but then, these guys learned from me and well, for those of you who know me, my best work is always right before I fall flat on my face! Let’s hope we make our trip tomorrow! And let’s hope Tay can get out of her phone long enough to make the trip with us! Oh look, she’s reading my post!

Okay, off to bed, wish us luck on this special trip!Meer informatie

Hartsfield Jackson!
22 mei 2019, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Well, we are ready to go! Missed lunch thanks to our exceptional planning, so waiting to grab our last American meal at TGI Friday’s then board in about an hour! Needless to say, Denise has been lecturing Taylor on the plot of Taken and is ready to marry her off so she won’t be as desirable.... KK get ready to be Mrs. Stalheim or I guess Tay could be Mrs Rusher! I say play Rock Paper Scissors for it!Meer informatie

ON THE PLANE!!!
22 mei 2019, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Well, we’ve spent about as much at the airport as we will on our tours tomorrow... Tay is already lamenting the fact she won’t have Snapchat (she’s worried her thumbs will lose their stamina!), and Denise is trying to see if her voodoo dolls will work in the UK (you know who you are PATRICK!!!). But through it all, I, Marty Stalheim, have prevailed to lead them down the straight road and onto our plane!!! (Little do they know what awaits them when the road turns and gets narrow, I’m going to pull a Mrs. McNeil and hope for the best! (Mrs. McNeil, if you read this, I hope you are doing well, and I’m sorry for poking fun!)

Love everyone and see you on the other side of the pond KK!

Oh and yes, Taylor is pulling full rank already and I owe Denise big time! Denise, I love you and remember to use two hands with those buns!Meer informatie

Arundel Castle
23 mei 2019, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Thank goodness everyone was tired and fell asleep, because the drive down was not for the faint of heart... fortunately KK was sitting behind me, so she couldn’t see enough to be scared! Apparently, I’m a white knuckled driver on roads meant for one and where only the aggressive survive!

Amazingly, after missing a couple of turns (tbh, wasn’t sure I could go the way the GPS wanted me to go so I chickened out and figured she could find me another route!) we actually made it to our destination.

I must say, Arundel certainly makes an impression both from afar and from up close. It’s a massive fortress on a hill over looking the entire valley. Very cool!

And not to be undone, Taylor decided she’d play car bingo after all and wanted to send Connor a message, “Look what I found!”Meer informatie

Time to storm the Castle!
23 mei 2019, Engeland ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
So, once we walked up the hill to the castle, it just became more impressive. Part of the castle dates from shortly after the Norman conquest and dates to the 1100’s. That includes the keep and parts of the wall and the old main gate. The remainder were rebuilt and are more from the Georgian age, the 1700’s and 1800’s. I will say, it’s a visit I’m glad we decided to make, and would definitely recommend for others.

We walked to the top of the keep where we had spectacular views, but it was the apartments that stole the show, especially for Denise. The crazy thing is that since the family still lives here, they sometimes have their friends stay in some of the rooms we saw! How cool would that be, to stay in a room that Queen Victoria may have graced?!

If you have the time, the car, and the will power to drive on the wrong side of the road, I say go for it!Meer informatie
