Family visit, flying an airplane and a quick visit to the Jurassic coast! Idyllic Easter Weekend

Michael, Stacia, Gracie and Elizabeth  spent their holiday with us!
(Annie had to jet off to Oman and Georgia was getting her learning on in college)

And of course... we brought them to the beach!

Patrick celebrated his birthday!  We thought about getting him a plane,  but first had to take it out for a spin

Cleared for take off 

"This is your captain speaking"

Hang on tight!

Our house is just to the right of the Cathedral

Oh the landscape!

Patrick passed the test!  We are not buying a plane though

West Bay (Where Broadchurch was filmed)

GOOD MORNING!!! 

Early risers get the place to themselves! 

...and the fish

This has got to be the steepest hill I have ever climbed 

This is where I decided it would be best to not have a camera hanging around my neck 

The climb was worth it! 

Easter Sunday at Abbotsbury

More bluebells! 

Pebble beaches are hard, don't let the smoothness of them fool you! Chesil Beach 

Sidmouth

Finally, a beach that is easier under foot, and paw

A great place for a run

After long walks and naps on hard surfaces, you just gotta stretch the body out

Sometimes you might run faster than planned 

So much pollen! 

All of the colors and hills made me wonder if we were in fact still in England 

Working fishing boats are just beautiful 

Whitebells? No, these are Snowdrops

When seeing this fort, I am in awe of the building and structure

Little dog was not so sure of the spiral stair case 

More hills and stairs at Lulworth 

Lulworth Cove 

Perfect day for flying a kite

Fresh crab and lobster

Meet Dorcas and Betsy Buttercup

Sums up our weekend!!
