Cornwall, March 2013

Long weekend to Cornwall! Curtis and I had been there in 2006 when we came to pick up Paul from his mission. It is such a beautiful part of England. We stayed in Sennen, in a cottage close to the beach. We got in about 9:30 pm, and we had to park in a car park, and then walk down a semi steep path to the cottage. It was DARK. And we had a bunch of sleeping kids and a pack and play to haul. It probably took us about 10 minutes to walk down to Tresilian (the name of our lovely cottage). I was carrying 2 backpacks, my camera, the pack and play, and my phone/flashlight. Jonah was helping Janie Kate, and at one point he turned around and was blinded by my flashlight, and fell down hard! The kids were troopers, they kept going, and we finally got there... and found a pack and play already waiting for us!!! We explored the gorgeous cottage, while Curtis made another trip to get the rest of our luggage. The kids hopped in the bath tub, and all was well. Next morning, I took the kids down to the beach. It was another steep hike, alongside a clear stream. Beautiful. The sun came out for about an hour and a half, and we enjoyed every second of it!

                                     

 We hiked back up the hill, cleaned the sand off our feet, and made our way to St. Micheal's Mount.

We stopped at a playground and then walked over and got pasties while we waited for the boat.

Dinner at the Last Pub in England, after a game of pool. I had fish pie and guess what? I really liked it! Imagine thick clam chowder, with chunks of tender fish, covered with mashed potatoes and cheese, and broiled. Hiked back down to Tresilian (in the dark again), and snuggled in with hot chocolate and digestives.
