Cousin Dave's Visit - Liverpool and the Lakes

Cousin Dave brought the nice weather with him to England and we spent the day in Liverpool, with a touch of Beatlemania!

Beatles Museum
The Albert Dock

The Philharmonic Pub, one of our old favs when we lived there.
(The one with marble urinals in the mens room)
Finished off the day at the Cavern, where some cool bands were playing

I thought this Grafitti was a bit sad

The Lake District

You see a lot of these fluffy creatures.

Our good weather luck had run out and it was brrrrrr!!!
Still a beautiful view though

Lake district Kung Fu KICK!!Cousins

Thanks for the great visit Dave!!

Day Trip to Leeds

Back to rainy ol' England... Decided to check out Leeds on a Sunday as it's only 1 hour away and we'd never been.

Leeds has beautiful shopping arcades.

The Leeds Royal Armouries Museum


Your perfect all-in-one weapon, combination six shot revolver, knife, and knuckle-duster!!

This little baby gun was the size of my finger!!So many weapons...
??????
This is what war and weapons will be like in the future...
Was this armour for kids or dwarfs??
Henry the VIII meets Terminator

Now, is this not the coolest helmet ever!!? Although, it may throw your balance off...
I guess they really like to drink in Leeds, this beer is bigger than my head!!A taste of home, Grant got a Sleemans
Thumbs down to Leeds, it soured us as we got drenched on the walk back to our car at the end of the day, and then had to pay £14 for parking!!!
