Lots of catching up to do...

Ignore the date, I'm going to go back in time & fill in the monthly tidbits since the last blog. Starting with last June/ July. My parents came the end of June for a few days here in England with us, before we all went on a mediterranean cruise together.

We popped down to London for a day, Leeds Castle, Ely and other local sites. We had nice sunny weather... a little too sunny. It was the hottest weather England had had in years. England isn't used to such sweltering weather. Air conditioners, subway venting, etc is not common here and we were melting! So hopefully the next time my parents visit England they won't bring NJ summer weather with them.

Now in the mediterranean, I was prepared for nice warm summer weather. We had great weather, great days at the ports, and a great time on the cruise. The whole trip worked out wonderfully. We left from Barcelona, to Naples, Rome, Tuscany, and Nice. And if you've come across my mother, I'm sure you've seen and heard all about it.
