Last week we returned from a three-week trip in England. Yep, my husband and kids accompanied me on my research jaunt across the Pond. While it was a little crazy at times, with three kids in tow, it was so worth going as a family and seeing all that we did, together.
We stayed in the northwest part of England, in the Lake District, so I could soak up the sights and culture for my book. But we drove all over – logging almost 2700 miles in our car!
One day we went searching for a narrow valley surrounded by mountains, to fit the setting in my head. We would pull over frequently to take pictures of the countryside. One such time, we pulled over, but unfortunately, some trees blocked our view of the valley. So my husband climbed out and headed into the muddy, poopy sheep pasture next to us to get a better shot.
As we waited in the car for him, I had an epiphany. He’d been willing to sacrifice convenience and his shoes because he loves me and wanted me to have a good picture for my research. To me, that’s true romance!

LOL Yes, that is the best test of one's love for you. 😀
A three-week trip to England…oh my, trying so hard not to be jealous! 🙂
Stina – It is, isn't it? :}
Melissa – It was a great experience, but it was also very nice to come home after being gone that long.
I love it! And I can't wait to see more photos from your trip. Sounds like a ton of fun!
Glad you had a great time! I would love to get to the Lake District sometime. I've heard it's gorgeous.
Jessica – We took about 800 pictures, but I promise not to share that many on here. 🙂
Jennifer – While the Lake District is a popular vacation spot for southern Englanders, they don't get a lot of Americans there. People were surprised we were staying there and not just passing through.
