The day has arrived.. I went to England to see my relatives, and bury my Nana's ashes. It was a hard visit coming to England, without my Nana and Isle of Man being a large part of the visit, as it always has been. We woke up early for our flight to Isle of Man, and arrived around 9:30 in the morning. We walked around the village and hit up a few of our usual spots. We caught up with Nana's friends, and Erianna got really upset. It was really sweet and upsetting, too. She said it didn't feel right eating with Nana's friends without Nana. She was super upset, but when she got her fish and chips, she seemed to be just fine. Here are the pics:
Erianna making friends with a dog outside the bank..
Erianna posing for a picture on the famous beach wall. Every time we have visited she has taken a pic there, unfortunately it was cold, misty and miserable, so the pics are nowhere near as good as they have been in the past!
Nana's house. We snuck up to give the new owners some things that they would need, and the house is completely empty three months after we got everything out..and they hurried us out... ?
A castle in Castletown
Erianna fell over and she seemed to be just fine after a trip to her favorite sweet shop, Memory Lane. It's the size of a shoe box, with sweets all over every wall. They have everything, too!
People's gardens that live in Port Erin near the sea shore. I love these little gardens. They are so relaxing, and each have such different relaxing elements to them. Here are my favorite two.
Erianna petting a cat near the beach.
We had a hot chocolate here with Uncle Lee, while Grandpa Uncle Nigel took a nap. Erianna played on the beach, and I tried to get some good pictures..
One of the pictures I took from the Cosy Nook Cafe.
A manx cat found near the Cosy Nook Cafe. What is a manx cat you ask??
A cat with NO tail!
Erianna found a flower on the ground and put it in her hair.. so cute :)
We stayed at the Falcon's Nest hotel.
Time to burry Nana's ashes. Erianna picked this plant out to leave on the grave for Nana, Grandad and my Mommy.
This is after we lowered my Nana's ashes in the grave so she is finally at peace with her husband and daughter. :' (
After the cemetery visit we went on an adventure and found a road we had not traveled on before and a beach we had never visited. It was beautiful.
There are cows, sheep and goats everywhere in the Isle of Man, and they do make the BEST ice cream EVER!
A house we passed by on the way back from the beach, this persons garden was so cool! Look at that bush!
Yummy, we found some ice cream!!!
For dinner we went to the BEST chippy in all of England. Can't beat it!!! Erianna was a happy camper, and we were there with my Nana's friends Beryl, Peggy and Janet. It was such a great meal, with great company. My Nana had some great friends in the Isle of Man. It was such a delight joining them for their Tuesday night fish and chips ritual!
When we got back from our second dinner...yep, after the fish and chips place we went to a restaurant called Fusion for dinner number two... Pretty modern place, seems totally out of place in the Isle of Man. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Bar-Restaurant-Castletown-Isle-of-Man/146660485382000?sk=wall
We got back to the hotel, my Uncles went for a few more pints...and I dried Erianna's hair. She loved it!
Then...... zzz zzz
