Back in MK...and up to Manchester

And so came the end of our adventure. It was so tough having to leave, but what a wonderful way to finish it by spending time wth the Macatols and kicking back.

Have to say a big thank you to Anthony & Estrell for helping us source many bits and pieces for our big day and to Myra for giving me some deco from Her and Tony Boy’s recent wedding.

So after a couple of days getting our bodyclocks back on track we're finally on our way up to Manchester and moving back into the flat tomorrow.

No doubt you'll all hear from us very soon with our Save the Dates. Thanks to all, and for reading...!

Return to Conneticut

We decided to attempt a trip back up to Conneticut with a 24 hour car hire, so we took a long, blurry 10-11 hour drive that was rewarded with some Chili's Baby Back Ribs at Anthony & Estrell's. The next day we took a trip to Atlantic City and met up again with Mary Ann, Sanjay and the Kids for a day at the beach. It was like fusion of a traditional seaside town and a mini Vegas. Uncle Tony and Tita Bebs came down from upstate New York for a couple of days and we celebrated Tita Bebs birthday with everyone.

Then after a day of outlet store indulgence we took a trip to Hammonasset beach nearby with Greg, where we christened Anthony & Estrell’s kayak, took a bike ride and finished up at Hooters.

Marietta, Ohio

After a few days of hedonism in Las Vegas we retreated to Matt & Kathy's beautiful home in Marietta, Ohio. Its a turn of the century estate thats been a labor of love and hate having to renovate over the last few years. We had an excellent time hanging out with Bryce, Jackson and Elyse again and meeting lovely little Isobel. I may have aquired an Oirgami protege in Bryce...! Uncle Mac, who lives nearby, took us out for dinner one night, we had another cool, eventful night out with Matt & Kathy's friends and also had the opportunity to catch up with Katherine (my cuz).
