Eli Goes to the UK

We took Eli to the UK, specifically Norwich, to meet Chris' family and friends. It was a lot of rushing around, but it was worth it for everyone to meet Eli. We stayed in an apartment in the city center, which was very nice and modern. This was a nice way for us to unwind from the busy days and enjoy the city sights and sounds.

These are just some of the highlights of the wonderful people in our lives across the pond

Such a perfect picture of Eli playing in an English garden with lawn statues

We are so glad that Eli met everyone with a smile and quickly warmed up to them. He was a fun guy throughout the trip and loved seeing his daddy's country. We hope to take him back again, but may have to wait until we have a few other Gilburts to join us.
