BLOG CATCH UP......USA

So in March we packed our bags and headed for USA. This was a trip Anthony and I had wanted to do for a long time, and we suddenly had a window of opportunity to do it so we seized it! And we are sooooo glad we did. It was absolutely fantastic. We both have some much loved friends and family over there and it was a girt to spend some short but precious time with each of them.

The Plane Journey there was an active 12 hrs to say the least. William was so excited running up and down the plane, hopefully most found him cute and not annoying. Going home was a night flight so he slept the whole way PHEW!! We where also given a pleasant surprise when Steve (Anthony's brother walks down the plane and says 'aright guys', as if it was totally normal that he was there haha)

We landed in LA on Thursday 24th march, Greeted by Mel (Anthony's sister). The first few Days at Mel and Paul's I felt like id been knocked over by a bus with Jet lag. William did fantastic, it took him 2 nights to get in order (probably because he'd been awake the whole journey there).

Whilst in California we spent a couple of days with

The Nestmans. Krista was my first companion on my mission in Scotland. She was the girl who looked after me in those first daunting weeks, put me at ease, built my confidence, chilled me out and above all was the friend I needed. Needless to say iv had a soft spot for that friendship ever since and loved catching up with her, meeting her lovely family and enjoying that friendship once again.....just wish we lived a bit closer!!

They took us to San Diego Zoo (So much to see),

...San Diego Temple......Beautiful! And for some great Mexican food.

The kids! Cute Eliza and Sid Playfully Smell the flowers at the pristine and pretty temple grounds....William picks up hand fulls of soil and throws it all over the shinny white pavement!!

They where great company and the perfect hosts, they had put so much thought and effort in to looking after us for those days. Anthony and I both commented on the extent of effort and thought they took.

THANK YOU NESTMANS!
