Camping

We decided to go camping up in the Lake District (Northwest England). After I realized that Rachel had a few days off, I booked the same time off and we decided to go camping where we've never been before. We went to Windermere lake in the south part of the Lake District. It was good. We got there, started to set up our tent and since it was dry all day we didn't worry about the rain clouds. Out of no where, as we took out our tent, the clouds decided to let it all out. We hurried as quickly as we could to put it up and eventually we did it :) Luckily for us after a couple hours it stopped, the sun came out and we could enjoy the rest of our trip. We went on two walks/hikes. One was to a castle that was close by our campsite and the other was up Loughrigg. We also took a ferry across the lake and relaxed by the tent. It was very pretty up there and seemed like we were somewhere else. Neither one of us have seen England look like that.

Summer days.....

We've had some good summer days recently- it's been sunny quite a few days in a row. We've tried to do things outside- shopping in stratford upon avon, playing games outside with friends, flying kites, going to the park, etc. We've loved it and we've been trying to get somewhat of a tan before going to Florida so we don't stand out completly :)
