Isle of Man & England 2012

We started out our trip with an 8 hour flight, a long, never ending baby crying, pooping, and puking while we got glares flight. Once we made it to the Isle of Man the fun began! We stayed with my Grandmother and Aunt Ann. We toured the Island and spent a lot of time hanging out at the house. A steam train station (think Thomas the tank) was across the street from the house. Henry rode "James" and "Percy" multiple times. He aslo rode on the top in the front of a double decker bus. He loved it, that is until we had to get off. Then he cried and screamed "STAY ON DOUBLE DECKER!!!!!" As the rest of the passengers laughed at us all the way out the bus and even on the sidewalk. Embarrassing! He was so excited for the train he fell asleep once it got going:
Stopped for "coffee" at a pub by the train station (H's is hot chocolate)
The double decker bus:
And our favorite of the trip, Auntie Ann!! She had these really cool books that Henry loved reading. Both kids loved hanging out w/ her and she made our stay really nice. Which is always such a great gift when you are travelling with little ones! She even humored us by making all the best British desserts!

In England we spend a couple of days at Aunty Sally's house and our great hospitality continued!! The 'English cousins' came over to her house and we had a great day together where all the kids played. We also were introduced to Banoffee Pie (amazing) :)
