Found out that friends Elizabeth and Ed were vacationing in the Smoky Mountains and wanted to go gem mining. We made plans to go along on the adventure. Rather than go to one of the touristy places where they salt the buckets of mud, we went to one where you have to dig and haul your own mud. The big challenge is to actually recognize the gem in the rough!
With Karen’s sister, niece, and her family we visited Stotfold England to walk in the footsteps of ancestors and to explore a lovingly restored historic water mill.
To meet up with some family members for the weekend, we headed north to explore Ely one day then Lavenham the next, two incredible historic communities.
As we begin venturing into Central London we explore Primrose Hill,the Victoria Memorial, the Gatti Ice House at the London Canal Museum, and the HMS Belfast with more adventures to follow.
