Jeremy and I decided that perhaps the easiest job in the world is that of an English weather forecaster. “Today will mostly be overcast with the sun peeking through for about an hour. Expect a light mist on and off throughout the day.” 🙂
And how about mushy peas? I don’t really like fish and chips to begin with but mushy peas? Really? BlissfulE cracked me up on Instragram referencing a joke about how the English conquered the world in search of a good meal. I can’t stop laughing. We went for a curry the other night and Joshua said, “Why are we eating curry in England and not English food?” I said, “Well…” It’s all in jest, my English friends. All in jest. 🙂
Emma G couldn’t get enough of the “insert your face here” photo opportunities. I will spare you the seven or so others that she posed for. They’re not as royal as this.
On the pier, I finally had to get a photo of our matching sneakers. I don’t remember at what point I realized that we were all wearing Converse. It was unintentional for sure. I find it quite funny, especially that we’re still matching even after noticing it!
And finally, special thanks to the nice Taiwanese guy that offered to take a family photo of us even after Emma G photo bombed ALL of his in front of the sea. She’s pretty and all but I don’t think that’s quite how he wants to remember his time on England’s South coast.

PS – The arboretum that we went to is in Dallas, which is where my parents live and where I grew up
