Wales, Day 1

Taking the M6 toll road, we made it to Wales in 4 1/2 hours.  Not bad, we thought.  One pit stop and one movie (Despicable Me) made the trip really not so bad.  Minnie had the hardest time and kept asking every 10 minutes if we were in Wales yet or not.  We stayed at this quaint little cottage built in the early 1800's.  We had the family room which consisted of a double bed and 2 sets of bunk beds.  It had a small kitchen and the bathroom was right next door.  The first thing we noticed was that it was much colder in Wales than in England right now.  We unloaded the van and then headed out down the narrow lane to check out the surroundings.  First, there are sheep everywhere!  Goofy loved them. He kept "baa-ing" at them.  They all loved them, but I'm not so sure that the sheep loved them!  We ended up with a couple downpours and soon after we made it back to the cottage, it started to hail.  We really started getting worried that the whole week would end up cold and rainy!  It didn't, but even if it had, we still would have enjoyed the views. I loved the stone walls everywhere, the lakes, the mountains, rivers, and bridges.  It was gorgeous!
