talia's adventures: england, scotland...and wedded bliss!

we just got back from our first big family vacation...and it was amazing. tal was a champion traveller (although we've had pay back the last few days now that we are back at home). we started out in london...then made our way to visit jay's family in st. helens...then to scotland for brode and gem's wedding...then on to saltburn to visit with my auntie jan and family...then back to london for one last night on the town before we flew home. Approximately 2100 kms. Jay mastered the round-about. what a trip...here are some pics of the highlights ;)
