England

"I know it sounds boring.
But sometimes it's the boring stuff
I remember the most." Up.

Six years ago, Paul and I spent three weeks in England and Wales. We did all the London touristy stuff, which was great. We did all the Welsh stuff you need to do (just try saying a word with 11 L's in it).

The picture that Paul displays from that trip: the one at the park, where Sam is giving him a sloppy kiss.

My favorite memory: in Wales, my reticent hubby after finding out the the surname Howell is

1. Incredibly well regarded in Wales and
2. Learning that we have mispronounced it for generation

is that he went home to home, knocking on doors, introducing himself as a long lost son of the Welsh!

I certainly want to make the most of our Chicago vacation. We've always "planned" pockets of relaxing time, but I think I'm going to go over our planning calendar and make sure we have plenty of "boring" time!
