Back to the USA

If it seems like we have disappeared off the blog-o-sphere, it is because we jetted off to Atlanta to attend my little brother's wedding. It felt really good to be back in the USA. The things I enjoyed most while I was there were:
  1. The American sized shower/tub.
  2. The American sized washing machine and dryer.
  3. The ability to blow-dry my hair in a bathroom equipped with huge mirrors. (In England, it is against the law to have an electrical outlet in the bathroom. So every morning I am stretching my blow-dryer from the outlet behind my dresser to the long mirror in my wardrobe.)
  4. Raw, natural heat with the accompanying indoor air-conditioning. We were in shorts and sandals the whole week (well, once we bought some)... which was fabulous.
  5. Continuous sunshine.
  6. Mexican food and chicken wings.
  7. The Mall of Georgia.
  8. The quilt shop.
  9. The zoo.
  10. Hanging around family.
I have to admit that going to Atlanta did make me a little homesick for the states. But I am happy to be back to a simpler life in Yorkshire where the grass is always soft and green.

On the plane ride over, Isaac was worried his blanket might fall in the ocean and get wet.

Nice family pics, you and your siblings look a lot alike. I know what you mean about the simple good things in the states that we often take for granted. At least now you are back in your own comfy bed.
