Norwich and Yarmouth with S and M

Next we hit up Great Yarmouth and Norwich. It was chilly with rain on and off but still a fun day. Dave, Scott and Michelle all took on the roller coaster while I watched the purses and cameras with Ava. Then I coerced "forced" Ava into riding the Merry Go Round. She hates rides and freaks at the site of them but I told her we wouldn't go to the beach unless she took 1 ride! MEAN MOM. Even though she cried all the way through and wouldn't sit on her own, when it finally stopped she threw her hands up in the air and yelled "I did it!" Scott even ate his first English Fish and Chips meal while sitting on the beach.



The boys decided they needed to throw every rock in site, then they needed to make it a competition. Then that turned into drawing a circle in the sand and Sea Rock Shot Put was born. I can't remember who won?




Ava destroyed all the castles and even Michelle's sand love message. I think she likes to break things more then make things.




The weather got worse and it started to rain so we drove into Norwich to tour the cathedral. It was really beautiful inside so I tried to take a few "detail" shots, sometimes when you have seen 5 million churches they start to look the same but in reality they are all unique and the beauty gets lost in my memory.










The rain stopped and we took advantage of the short lived sunshine to walk the streets of Norwich. Michelle and Scott had read something about Chocolate being a delicacy in Norwich so we went in search of some indulgence. I bought a few "no brainer" flavors that I knew would taste great but I went out on a limb with Chili Cocoa (a little fire in my mouth) and raspberry (she said had no liquor but Dave begged to differ.)

Sinners.. choco liquor. I've bought some before too. My nievete shows up when I can't read German. We ended up giving the chocolate to our friend. He liked it. Cathedrals... I know what you are saying. some of the beauty gets no credit after being in 20 of them.
