CJ and Phil suggested we rendezvous at the Fountain Square Mall in downtown Bloomington. After an initial round of hugs we headed to The Irish Lion, a restored 1882 tavern where we visited over a round of libations and a couple of small plates before moving on to BluBoy for desserts and decaf coffees and teas. They have lived here now for about fourteen months and really seem to relish all that Bloomington has to offer.
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.
You both look wonderful!!!
