We were go-go-go while we were down in Devon and London and any type of schedule for the boys went out of the window. For those reasons we decided to just take it easy for the second week and do a few things locally. The weather was still really nice so we got to do a bunch of things outside including; going to the marina and feeding the ducks, spending the day at Markeaton Park (playground and huge wading pool), and did a little shopping. Of course we continued on our food binge!
The best part about being back home was getting to catch up with family and some of my oldest friends. My brother Steven and his girlfriend had a little girl back in March so I was beyond excited to get to meet little Miss Darcey, she is adorable and getting to see her everyday was great. She was mesmerized with the boys and it's hard to imagine that the next time we see her she will be running around all over. I got a night out with my two oldest friends on the planet, Becky and Ashley, thanks to Mum and Paul as they watched the boys. It was so nice catching up over a few (many) glasses of wine. It's amazing that we can go years without seeing each other, or really talking, yet when we are back together it's like we haven't missed a beat. Hopefully they will come pay us a visit in America one day :)
As much as America is home now it is always hard to leave where you grew up and family of course. We really did have the best time though and some amazing memories have been made and the boys have gotten to know and love their grandparents even more than the last time they saw them.
