Day One

On our way to the UK
On the 25th July we left for the Uk at 3pm. We spent 21 hours on the plane with a 2 hour and 40 minute stop over in KL. The trip was long and tiring but enjoyable. Spencer was such an angel, He slept on both take off's and slept exremely well on both flights. I don't think he realised that we were even on a plane. We were grateful once we touched down in the UK and felt that so much preparing has finally come to pass, Than the nerves really started to set in....

Day One in England
We landed at 5:50am into Heathrow airport terimnal 3. It was such a long trip but glad we did it. We were greeted by Kurt's loving parents, Kurt got a huge surprise seeing his younger siblings. He didn't think they were coming to the airport aswell.. Once we hit the road the site seeing started with....
THE LONDON TEMPLE

The London temple is located in Surrey, It's on HUGE grounds with lovely gardens. It has a river through out it and is just beautiful for temple weddings and things like that. I found out some really cool facts about London Temple while we were there my Father in Law was telling me about why they dont have an angel moroni on top and thats because planes fly straight over and the gold reflection wouldn't be much help for the pilots.

After the London Temple we went to have a big breakfast but it was really a dinner for us. They have a thing over there called a Fry up it contains Eggs, Bacon, Bakebeans, 3 Pork Sausages, 3 Hashbrowns and 2 pieces of Fried toast. All I can say about this breakfast is the I felt so sick after it. The food is really fatty over there, Kurt and I gained so much weight for eating.

My poor little man was stuck in the car for all up about 4 and a half hours. It was such a long trip but luckily we had a few stops and once we did stop he was the happiest little baby!!
Sadly he now hates his car seat....

Another stop we had day one was to see Stone Hedge. Which is anicent stones. It's a pretty cool design, And it was a very very warm day. It got to 27 degree's. He didn't stay long here because we weren't expecting it to hit 27 Degrees so we didn't want to stay in the sun to long.

On our way home
It was a long trip home but we finally hit plymouth which is a lovely little town 4 and a half hours away from London. Spencer screamed for a lot of the way home to Plymouth. But once we got there he was very happy to crawl around. At this stage Jet Lag was starting to hit us, We tried to stay awake to catch up with Kurt's brother Logan and his partner Sabrina. But as soon as they arrived which was 9pm we had to go to bed. He were falling asleep on the lounge.
