the one with the trip to england
We were supposed to go to England in January . . . unfortunately, Russ and I weren't feeling very well on the last Saturday in January, so the date was postponed until last weekend.
First item of business: Gotta look posh if you're going to England! Russ wore a sport coat and I put on some pearls :) (though you can't see them . . . )
Next, we got our first stamps in our passports!
Then it was off to England for some afternoon tea and crumpets! Okay, so actually it was evening tea and scones, but I hear that people in England have tea at any and all times of day and that scones are an appropriate accompaniment, so we still maintained the England atmosphere ;)
We even raised our pinkies! Which I've heard isn't actually something they do, but hey, it was fun anyway :)
While we drank our tea and ate our scones, we watched a tutorial on Cricket.
I still have no clue how it works . . . So we soon switched to a game of football (soccer).
Next we went to the mall.
Apparently, "you know you're in England when you know everything about your neighbor except their name," so we did some people-watching!
Then we went sight-seeing. We went and visited Big Ben and learned a little bit about it.
After that, we headed on over to Skippers to get ourselves some fish'n'chips for dinner.
Finally, we ended the night by watching What a Girl Wants!
Russ had never seen it, and I thought this was the perfect excuse to watch it together :)
It was a pretty fun date, mostly because I got to be with my favorite person ever :)
The other best part? We got to travel to England for less than $20!
Cost breakdown:
Tea (from Walmart): $2.88
Scones (from Smith's): $3.69
Fish'n'chips (from Skippers, with a coupon): $12.69
Total: $19.26
Stay tuned for the rest of the passport dates this year!

Also, if you don't know what the heck I'm talking about when I say "passport dates," refer to my post explaining it :)
For all the trips this year, Russ won't know where or when we are going until I do a little something to let him know. For England, this is what he found on his nightstand one day :)
