Heading to Aldershot

On Tuesday, April 6th, Sid, Sonia, Julie’s kids (Matthew, Rachel & Emma) and I headed up to Aldershot. The plan was to spend a couple of nights there with a day trip into London. This would be the first time for my nephew and nieces. Meanwhile their parents, Julie and Brad, were going to train to London and stay a few nights in a hotel, catch a show and do their own thing. My other sister Sarah, her husband Brad and daughter Brenna had already left to go back to their home in Phoenix. We had two cars heading up to Aldershot so the girls hopped in one and the boys the other. It’s about a 2 ½ hour drive.

Once in Aldershot, Sonia and Rachel headed out for a bit of shopping while the rest of us headed to the bowling alley for some serious 10 pin action. It was Emma’s first time bowling 10 pins and she tried various techniques to optimize her game. We had the gutter guards up too so that definitely helped our scoring. Later Rachel showed up but after bowling a few frames she wasn’t feeling too well so Sonia came back to take her home. That night we watched the movie “Shark Tales” and then it was off to bed...big day tomorrow!

These are not the droids you're looking for!
