Family, Fullers, and Fast-alseep Rosie

What a fantastic visit we had with Mum, Dad, and Rosie!
Sean and I always love spending time with everyone and, of course, taking photos of Rosie when she falls asleep in public.
This girl can fall asleep anywhere!
We had a number of adventures during the fam's visit... beginning with a trip to Portsmouth to eat some delish fish and chips and walk down Mum's memory lane! Rosie and I were glued to one another for two reasons: long overdue sister catch-up AND freezing windy rain! We took a selfie to help share the experience:
If you look closely, you can see Mum and Dad weathering the weather.
Continuing the family journeying, we all went out to Cambridge for a day to meet up with one of Mum's relatives and to see the sites.

One of the Cambridge highlights for me was seeing King's College. I love the choral music recorded there so greatly, yet somehow didn't think about it being in Cambridge. As such, when we happened upon it during a walk- I was jubilant!

The Cambridge trip was full of great sites, but one of the best had to be our surprise discovery of cows hanging out by the river.

Before Dad returned to the States, we had an early Birthday/Father's Day celebration for him. When I say celebration, I mean brewery-tour. That's right! We all went to The Fuller's Brewery in Chiswick and enjoyed a very informative experience!

Despite all of the information, however, there was no question which part Dad enjoyed the most: THE BAR WITH NO TILL!
Thirsty?
We had such a lovely visit together and it was sad to say goodbye. I threatened to cut up everyone's passports on numerous occasions, but I never had the guts to do so based on the hassle it would create for my family and the waste of perfectly-good microchipped government documents.

Before I sign off, I will leave you with one more sleeping Rosie photo; because I know that's why you read to the end of this entry! :)
