First night




This was our first sight on London, The London Eye, Big Ben, the house of Parliment and Westminster Abbey, it was incredible!

Europe!

So here is our Europe Vacation pictures. We left on Christmas day and flew first into Charlotte where we had an excellent Christmas dinner at the USO. We then flew on a nice airplane (free food and movies for 9 hours- who could ask for anything more) to London. We had a little bit of a rough start because we didn't realize it was boxing day and all the trains were closed. So the only cheapest option was a Coach bus, so $110 and 2 hours later we finally made it to our hotel. Our hotel was really nice, it was the Crowne Plaza which we hotwired for a killer deal, the only draw back is that it took a while to get into the city. The first thing we saw was the Big Ben which was an incredible first sight of London. While in London we also saw Westminster Abbey, Buckinham Palace and the changing of the Guards, The tower of London, London Bridge, Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath. WE also went around to all of the different villages, ate rue English Food (Sausage and Mash) and totally loved it. Our favorite day was the day when we visted Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath, it was amazing!
After Being in London for 6 days we left on the 31st by Bus to go to Paris. We celebrated New Years Eve at the Eiffel Tower, Incredible and Happy Birthday to Chris!! We had a hard time getting back to our hotel the first night because of the stupid trains, but at 4:00 am we were in our hotel and only $60 more broke because of the stupid taxi driver. In London we went to see Notre Dame, the outside only of the Moulin Rouge (and never again, may I just Say that Paris is the nastiest dirtiest city in the world!!) We went to the Louve and saw the Mona Lisa, we saw Versaille where Marie Antoinette lived, the arc de triumph, Sacre Couer, and many other increbile monuments. We tried to find frog legs but we were unsucessful. Well we loved our amazing trip to Europe! Emjoy the Pics, lots of love!

Happy Holidays!

Hello to all of our friends and family!! I hope that you all had a great Holiday. It has been a while since we have posted, but we are still here out in Med School. Well we had a great Christmas and we loved all of the gifts from our friends and family. We went on a Wonderful vacation to Europe, pictures to follow. We were especially blessed by our friend the Boggus's who saved the day Christmas morning when we were heading to the airport and our engine fried, they had no hesitations coming to help us out Christmas morning and taking us to the airport. When we got back we are also indebted to the Davis's who let us borrow their car for 2 days so we could get home! Once we arrived home, we expected to see our house near completion (because before we left we packed up our entire house and moved it into one small room so that the rest of our house could be totally redone). Well to our surprise and disappointment, hardly any work was done. So now we are living in a room with everything else in boxes (except the kitchen) and shooting for our house to be finished by Feb. 4th. We also had a leak in our 1/2 done new roof, which should also be finished sometimes in February. So hopefully this year is not as chaotic as the beginning of it was. But we are very grateful that Chris won the lottery for rotations and we are able to stay in Lewisburg instead of traveling to some other scary part of the state for rotations. My job is going well, and I am doing a lot of therapy with kids which I love. Well we miss you all and can't wait to see you all!! Love Chris and Alicia

Casey has graduated!!

So just an update!! Casey is no longer the dumbest one in the family (family joke...we just want everyone to know we don't really think casey's dumb), he has decided to go on a mission in a few months when he turns 19, so he automatically is bumped up!!! Yeah Casey we are proud of you and your decision!! You rock!



Seneca Rocks






So we went to Seneca rocks for our third anniversary! It was a lot of fun, we went to a cavern, did some hikes and went to the national radio observatory (we are still not quite sure exactly what these huge telescopes do!!!) It was a lot of fun and we had a great time!!!

Yeah for Casey!

This is a great picture of Casey, he has been biking lately, and winning! Actually Casey did not tell me what this was for and or when or any details, and he hasn't joined the blog yet, so more details will be coming. It's okay though because technically he is the dumbest one in the family....hee hee!

Our adventure in Pocahontas County






Yes, obvsiously there is not just streets named Pocahontas but whole counties as well. I don't know the fascination, but never the less it is there, so we decided to be there too. Over labor day we went with our friends the andersons to go and explore this new land. We first went to Bear Town, it had really neat rock formations. We kept sticking the Anderson's two year old son in crevises in the rocks. We then went to an old battle field and then went and saw a lot of different water falls. It was a very fun adventure.
