january 30th - loving the uk

All settled at The Falcon Hotel in Uppingham and Gemma has made herself at home. She has taken to the English breakfast of cereals, pastries, and muffins. Elsie really likes daddy since they have much in common...like nose picking. 

We went out for a delicious lunch at the Lake Isle, which is another hotel that we have stayed in the past. Alex says he remembers it, which you may think he did seeing as he was comfortable enough to push tables together and whip out his Mickey cards.  

We had dinner with Lizzie and Alex tonight at our hotel. The kids went down in our room as they did the night before and all seemed well. When we came up at midnight, our card key wouldn't work and we could hear Gemma inside talking with the TV on...mommy was frantic and ran downstairs to get a new key. Daddy could hear Alex saying something so called him to the door and he opened up. As the door opens...Gemma is jumping on the bed...completely naked. Daddy asked Alex what they were doing up and told Alex he was supposed to keep an eye on Gemma.  Alex's response..."I did, she is still in the room."
