BACK HOME ALREADY!!

Well I finally arrived bcak into belfast city airport 16hours after leaving washington, of course with my track record at customs it meant that there were a few wee probs along the way, nothing major though! The guy at passport control in Heathrow I dont think believed that it was me in the photo, he had a good look!
Washington is the best place i have been to on my hols hands down. Everything is so much bigger and better there. Firstly arriving to the snow was great, trust me we dont know what snow is over here! It was great fun in the snow, Aaron was at the usual tricks of pelting the biggest snowballs and of course Rachael and I got rolled. Just like old times really! Chloe was loving the snow too, shes so cute, and has a laugh just like her dad! Maybe that aint such a good thing??
I think Rachael, Chloe and I covered serious miles when we were seeing the sights, Rachael should really become a tour guide because she knew all the best places to go see! Thanks for that! The sights are amazing, you really have to go to appreciate them, especially the mall and capitol hill. The White House was really impressive too! Only thing is that the security staff at most of the places are physco's! Dont ever cross them! All the sights and museums are free entry which was great, Northern Ireland has definately some catching up to do.
A lot of time was spent eating, maybe not a good thing in my case but the food over here is just mad. No half portions here! We ate in some really nice places! American people are really friendly though sometimes its a bit annoying when you just cant be bothered talking to them. Of course everyone loved Chloe because she always had a smile for them!
Shopping over there is brill, we went to an outlet mall kinda like junction one but ten time bigger and better. Got some great bargains! We also went to see Disney on Ice. which cost hardly anything and was brilliant, we also went to a basketball game to see the Georgetown Hoyas play West Virginia, really good fun to watch, americans take it so seriously.
Thats just a wee bit of what we got up to. i would be writing all day if I tried to put all it in here. Have a few photos i will put on later at some point! Aaron be warned!!! Talking of Aaron, he has such an easy life over there, i dont think he should be telling people that he is working in america, more like having a holiday!!! Anyway thanks Aaron,Rachael and of course Chloe for having me over, it was an experience i wont forget. See you all soon xx
