Today was Jason's second week of pediatrics in the UK. He will be in the NICU this week working with a different group of consultants (doctors). Mondays are his long days so I was on my own for most of the day. We talked about booking our Wales trip so I spent a good part of the morning online booking train passes and hotel stays. We will be traveling to Conwy (Conway), Snowdonia and then heading down to the southern most point of Cardiff during the second weekend in April. Our train passes were sent to the Epsom station so I had to go into town to print them off and pick them up. We also needed a few groceries so I made a trip into town. I'm getting so used to this walk that I'm almost getting to where I don't look around when I walk anymore. I'm not so sure that I like this...I love taking in all the sights but for some reason today I was a 'woman on a mission'. Week 2 of our England trip has started...I can't believe how fast our time here is flying.

Today I had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do except for some laundry, which is pretty much an all day event waiting for it to wash and dry. I couldn't sit around all day and not do anything so I decided to clean the house (the best I could with what we had), vaccum, wash dishes and plan out tomorrow. Remember tomorrow is 'sport' day so getting out and exercising is top priority. I think the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and a few other London sights will be a great source of some exercise!! Today was probably one of the coldest days we've had since we've been here. It's also been the first day with rain. We've been very fortunate to have not seen rain before now...11 days with sun and no rain isn't too bad. Jason is hanging in there--he has 'senioritis' so bad he can't hardly see straight. Now that he knows what our future holds, he's finally able to relax and by relaxing, he's able to see how tired of rotations he is.
**On a different note, CONGRATULATIONS to Andrew, Jason's brother, who accepted a position a little closer to home. Hopefully this will make it easier to see the kiddos a little more often when we are home this summer.

What a fun trip you're planning?!?! And yes...when we're a lil' closer I would LOVE to have lunch/coffee!! NYC isn't too far from us ;) I can't wait to spend time in the city!
Wow, I am so proud of you for making little activities and things to keep yourself busy there. I'm one of those girls that's sort of nervous to be alone unless I'm in a very familiar place. I would probably cry when my hubby went to work If I was in your shoes. Yes I know NEEDY!!
Anyways, It sounds like your truly enjoying each moment your there.
How long do you stay? I forget?
I love this post! I have been thinking about you alot and really have only been keeping up with you via facebook!
