Yesterday we spent some time out at Merthyr Mawr Sand Dunes which are located about 15 minutes from our house. We have had such a long rainy cold winter it was so nice to see some sun and it be warm.
See a slide show with pics and video here.
Kelly and I had a date night tonight. Dinner, and a movie. We had a little time before the show started so grabbed a capuchino at our favorite coffee chain in the UK - Costa Coffee.
Our friend Barb and her son Ian are visiting. Today Kelly took them to Dunraven Bay/Southerndown beach near our house. In typical welsh fashion they had sun, then got rained on and then the sun came back out. Kelly took this shot just after the rain stopped on the beach with the tide out.
This past week Preston took his first steps on his own!
Kelly and I wanted to get out today, so after taking the boys to swim lessons this morning, we drove up to the Wye Valley on the Welsh/English border area to Tintern Abbey on the banks of the Wye river, and then into the town of Monmouth just to the North. Weather was dry but very cold today. We will likely try and plan a picnic up there on a warmer day in summer.
On to Monmouth, we walked around town, and grabbed hot drinks for everyone before heading home.
