Jolly ol' England!

We made the trek today from Ireland to Wales then on to England (we found out that the two are not the same, so I put it that way as to not offend anyone). We took a ferry across the Irish Sea which was a very neat experience, it was more like a cruise ship than a ferry. The kids had fun up on deck taking pictures, but as you can see, it was a bit windy! The highlight of the day for many was our trip to Caernarfon Castle. This castle is where the dubbing of the "Prince of Wales" comes from in history - Charles was dubbed the "Prince of Wales" on this very site back in 1969. It was truly an amazing experience! We moved on down to Chester and walked the city center learning the history of the town that was once a prize of the Roman Empire. The architecture is amazing and I am finding it hard to believe that we are here looking at buildings that have been around since more than 300 years before our our country even existed! I will check in with you tomorrow - and by the way, if your kids have not called...they are all just fine!
