Norfolk Area Trip

We left at 9 am. Went to the store to get Ice. No, ice. The commissary didn't open until 10 and we were ready to get on the road. So we went to Tesco Gas Station. Nope no ice. Then to Tesco. Nope no ice. Then to an Exxon Gas Station. No ice. Then to the Tesco Extra. Hot dog, ice. 4 small bags for 6 Pounds. Oh well. It was now 9:50 am and we were on the road to the Beach. Okay took us 2 hours to go there. Traffic was a killer. Went to Castle Rising. They were having a War Day Battle at the Castle. It was 20 pounds to get in. Nope. Took pictures of the castle and said off we go to the beach. Got to the beach. It was 3 pounds for all day parking. Not too bad, since parking is expensive in this darn country. We get our stuff and head down. Change clothes and look at all the rides. It looked like a fair there. Really nice. Then we got to the water. Okay well is the sand. There were people laying out on the side walk area. The water was gross. It had big huge pieces of sea weed in it. And some dead animals that the british kids kept calling jelly fish. LOL. It wasn't jelly fish. Oh well Jacob had a blast. There were lots of rocks to throw in the water. Connor played in the muddy stuff that was suppose to be sand. :) We had lunch. Then decided to check out the price of the ferry to the cliffs. It was 20 pounds. Okay nope again. (20 pounds is almost 40 bucks). We let Jacob do some rides then we left. Got there at 12:30 pm and left about 4:30 Went to the Lavender Fields. Really pretty. Then went to another part of the beach, just to check it out. Okay if you have been seen Pensacola Beach or Mrytle Beach. This isn't it. LMAO. Then we went to the Queen's Norfolk Estate. It was 4:45 pm and it closed at 5 pm. So I got to take a picture of the statue. And get a brochue of the estate. BTW 20 pounds again. HA HA. They are funny. It only took us about an hour to get home. Went to McDonald's had supper. Then went to a friends house to compare our days. They went to York. York is great if you don't have kids. At least that is what I was told.
