Over to Dover

The ferry to Dover departs from a pier about 20 minutes from our house, so Jon and I took the kids for a 2 night trip. We stayed at the Alkham Court Farmhouse because Jon said he wanted to see sheep or goats out the window in the morning. He did.

During our stay we visited Dover Castle and saw the secret tunnels that are burrowed into the cliffs. We also went to Canterbury and listened to the Chaucer tales as well as visiting the cathedral from the story.

Leah and Axel get hands-on at the Dover Museum. Did you know they have a 4000 year old boat there? Oldest sea-faring boat in the world; they found it when digging around to build a new road.

I had been waiting for the cute pics from Dover. Glad to see they surfaced.
