Fountains Abbey

So yesterday we decided to do some sightseeing. We pass these.. windmills?  every day on the way to base. There are several of them. It always looks so odd to me. The big things in the middle of a green pasture...with cows!

This picture was mostly for Erica : )

There are tractors EVERYWHERE on the roads

just outside of town!

You just have to wait for a chance to pass them

oooorrr sit behind them and wait..and wait

Here is the begining of our tour through founains abbey.
There were so many beautiful buildings.

This is the fountains hall built between 1598 and 1604!

This is an old mill. THe biggest door there,
Jason had to duck in almost every entrance way

The Fountains Abbey
You are able to go inside and look around.
There are fields where you can play games & have picnics
It is like nothing we had ever seen before :)

The archways inside the abbey were GORGEOUS!

This road was supposedly supposed to be a two lane road!
How that would work I have noo idea!
Luckily no one else drove by..
I don't know how we would have fit!

One of the BEAUTIFUL views on our way home

England or Bust!

Traveling, moving, inprocessing..

Saturday Aug 21st. was the day we began our travels (Alaina's 3rd birthday!) It was soo difficult saying goodbye to everyone!

My flight left Seattle at 5:30 and Jason left around the same time from Tennessee. It was about a 10hour flight to Amsterdam.

When I landed, I was soo lost! LUCKILY  Jason was able to find my gate and we made our way to our next gate.

We took a bus out to our plane and were able to spend the next flight together.

We landed in Leeds, went through customs, and met our sponsor.

We both passed out as soon as we got to our temporary house.

The next few days we have spent doing in processing paperwork and looking for a place to live.

God provided a place so quickly! Our first day, looking at houses we found our new home! We will hopefully be moving in September 3rd!

We were also able to see some beautiful countryside & and old castle while driving around looking for places to live.

If I can figure it out.. I will post some pictures!

We love and miss everyone back home! Please keep in touch!!
