This past weekend was one of the many Bank Holiday weekends here in the UK. It's a public holiday and you can count on it raining! Or at least it sure seems like it rains every time.
This weekend there was a festival in the bay and would you believe that the weather was incredible? We packed a lunch and headed down there, we are about 15-20 minutes from the bay.
We ran into some local pirates, you can tell the girls are thrilled. Ha.
We climbed aboard some interesting boats and even toured a 72 ft. racing yacht that has been around the world twice!
This is the racing yacht- it now used for teaching team building and they teach life skills to troubled teens. The girls and I got a tour of that yacht while Marc stayed on the dock with Addison.
The yacht has 18 bunks- one for each crew member. When they raced around the world in 2002 and 2004, they worked in shifts of six. Six on deck, six cooking and eating, and six asleep!
Lunch time!
Because no festival is complete without games and entertainment, we allowed the girls to do this jumping thing. We did not want to spend the money (highway robbery!) but the pure enjoyment on their sweet faces made it worth it! Bailey was not heavy enough to really jump, so she did more swinging but she still loved it and giggled non-stop!

So glad the weather cooperated! Maggie did one of those jumping things over near the London Eye...it was terrifyingly high. She loved it...pretty sure it was also highway robbery!
I just love the sky in that fourth picture down...those big clouds and that color...that is the sky I remember. Hurricaine stuff is headed up the coast so I think we are in for a wet weekend here...our 'Bank Holiday"
This looks like fun to me. I've seen the places but never thought of the girls liking it. I'm so glad they had a good time.
