first train ride...

On one of the mornings while Dave and Denise were here with us and Chase was at work, we hitched a train to Llandudno, a small Parisian inspired seaside town on the Irish Sea. Grandpa Dave was VERY excited to accompany Finnigin on his very first train ride. We could not have begged for better weather on the coast. Finn was fantastic on the train ride which only lasted about 45 minuets-which I think was just long enough for Finn to sit relatively still.

Basically when Finn saw the ocean he went berserk and had to touch it immediately as he is with all bodies of water; lakes, puddles, bath tubs, my drinking glass...

About 2 seconds after this picture was taken Finn started digging in the sand- typical...

In the background you can see the beautiful hillside covered with amazing architecture. I've vowed to come back here with Chase, it truly was THE most amazing little town.

A couple days later we had to say goodbye to Gma and Gpa and then immediately the day after we had to move out of Hobbit House and into our new home. I loved watching Finn being loved on by his grandparents, it started making Chase and I miss home more than we have since we got here. To all of our friends and family- we miss you so much!

And Happy Birthday to my adorable niece Addison who turned 2 on Monday! If you see her give her a squeeze for me!
