Wales VacationOctober 5th, 2009

Wales was a fast and emotional trip, but worth it! I have returned and am back at work. This trip was all about visiting with my family and there was plenty of that. I even got the cousins together for a pub crawl one night. I was also able to check 2 more castles off of my list and do a bit of hiking. A highlight was finally seeing heather in bloom on the Welsh mountains!
