Today is a big day. A day of adventure, a day of good-byes. As we speak, Sarabeth is packing a few forgotten and last minute additions to her already overstuffed bag. She's rather quiet, but then so am I. We both know when the conversation turns to leaving for the airport, the good-byes will begin, & so will the tears.
Great Britian/England. My grandmother's family is from England. Living in London should cause Sarabeth to feel like she's returned to her roots.
My mom and dad drove up last week to give Sarabeth a set of hot pink luggage for her trip. They didn't want her suitcase getting lost. That happened to Lauren when she flew to France for a semester in Paris. Lauren's bag didn't arrive for 13 days. Thirteen Days! She didn't even have a change of clothing. Sarabeth took lots of extra stuff in her carry-on. Just in case her bright colored bag disappeared for a few days.
(What a creeper! Maybe not the best place to stand, lol. We stopped to take this at the airport in almost the same place as one of our pics with Christopher and Lauren when they went to korea.)
Sarabeth will visit with her British Relatives (second cousins once, or is it twice removed?) who live "across the pond." These are the children of my grandmothers first cousin. If my grandmother was alive today, we'd be celebrating her birthday. She would have been 101 years old today. Seems like an appropriate day to fly to London.
Have a wonderful Adventure, Sarabeth. We love you!
