San Francisco
I took Stephanie to San Francisco for her 30th Birthday. It was a surprise and I kept it that way until the very last minute (Literally). Our flight was cancelled and we had to either wait for the next flight later that evening or take a few different flights on a much smaller plane to get there. So we took the latter to try and get there asap. The last of the three different legs of the flights was delayed so we didn't arrive until late afternoon, but still there before if we waited until the night flight. We were able to check out a lot, including biking to the Golden Gate Bridge, the Cable Cars, Fisherman's Warf, Union Square, an Alcatraz cruise!
England
The North
What a fantastic trip visiting relatives and friends and checking our some new sights and cities. We started in London and spent time with the Spences' and Bob for a few days before renting a car and heading up to the North. Up north we saw the entire Henderson clan (except for Andrew unfortunately), the Greenwoods, Faulders, Macdonalds, Lord Tudor, grandpa Rankin resting in peace... we even had time to stop in at Trevor's infamous old chippery in Stokesley and a quick trip to Suggitt's.
London
We checked out a lot in the few days we had in London including visits with the Spence family and Bobby G! Imperial War Museum, National Portrait Gallery, Camden, V & A, Margaret Thatcher, Tate Modern, etc...
Germany
The north west of Germany is very nice with loads of old buildings and cathedrals to visit. We did notice a ton of Graffitti while on the train from Dusseldorf to Aachen and Koln. Aachen Cathedral, Köln Dom (Cathedral),
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is an amazing city with a ton of character. Loads to see and do. The architecture is quite well preserved and has a great timeless style to it. Van Gogh Museum, Heineken Experience, Anne Frank Museum, etc
