Lake District

We went to the Lake District last weekend as a kind of trial run for a wedding we're attending there in October. (Jen's a bridesmaid and had to go to be measured for her dress).

Stayed in a place called Stainton which is between Ullswater and Penrith.

We weren't really sure how it would go given Abigail has only just gone 7 weeks and it would be her first time away from home, but as it turned out everything was fine. She slept through the journey both ways, and thankfully didn't manage to keep the other guests in the hotel awake as she slept all night!

I guess the only thing we weren't fully prepared for was the amount of luggage a baby needs! We remembered everything but if we'd had one other passenger other than the 3 of us we'd defintely have needed a bigger car. Think the hotel receptionist thought I was nuts with the amount of trips I had to make to the car to empty it.

Best of all, the weather this weekend was better than it was for my whole 3 weeks paternity leave so we lapped it up!
Just need to hope that the actual wedding goes as well now....
