Day out to Hever Castle

Mallory and I drove out to see Nanny, Uncle Tony and the girls before we flew home.  Charlie came with us to make it all a fun day out!  Hever Castle is the childhood home of Anne Boelyn located in Kent.  It was a gorgeous country ride to the castle on a beautiful sunny day.

SURPRISE VISITORS!!!

Mom and Dad surprised us with one last visit to Wivenhoe.  It was the most amazing treat and just what we needed to get excited about our move home!

We also went to the Maldon Promenade on a beautiful sunny afternoon.  First stop- sand pit!
