The Transatlantic flight tomorrow hopefully skipping around the Icelandic Volcanic Ash

 Here is our destination, my mom and her brother's cottage on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.  You can see their place just to the left of my head!     Zara was here last when she was almost one, so this is will be loads of fun, as she will be able to do more.   

Maybe even see the newlyweds Kate and William!  Granted it is not July or August so surely there will be no north sea swims, but lots to do nevertheless we hope. We are so excited to see all the  family there, and hope we can report back soon.  We also plan a trip to Edinburgh which i haven't been to since i was in my teens i think!   We will be skyping daddy often i am sure.

This morning Hoyt was in DC for one day only, and he made a huge effort to come over bearing bagels and treats!!! Grandma and Grandpa came over as well to hear all his Zagreb stories too!  I think our next big trip must be to see him there, it all sounds so exotic!
