ENGLAND!

So, we went to England! It was SOOO FUN! We met up with some friends (Peter and Kristi Kingsley) and had a fabulous time with them! We visited 4 areas; Peter's mum lives in Southport, Liverpool, Skipton, and of course London. Skipton has one of the best preserved castles in all of England so that was really cool to see. We saw the Cavern where the Beatles played. And the main touristy stuff in London. We are looking forward to going back when it's not so cold and there isn't some great "blizzard" to disrupt things. The weather really wasn't as bad as they made it out to be-they're just big sissies! Here is a small portion of the thousand or so pics we took while there. Remember to go to http://thecypruslife.shutterfly.com to view all the pictures!

Buckingham Palace for Changing of the Guard

So excited!

No tourist was going to get by him!

I don't blame this little one for being asleep already!

The wild "blizzard" of England. Worst December they've had in 100 years!

Skipton had these sheep all over the town and the placards said "flock to Skipton"
