We're fortunate to have had opportunities to spend time with Peder over the last few years when he's visited his London-based clients. But it was a true bonus to enjoy time with Michelle and the boys too on their Spring Break visit to England. Peder and Michelle have been dear friends since college, and their family is very special to us. The boys are mad for soccer, and English Premiership football is their passion, so much of their trip has revolved around the game. They first went to Liverpool to see the Champions League match versus Real Madrid, then to Arsenal to see the match versus Everton. And once they had arrived and settled in Horsham, we all went to Chelsea to see the match versus Manchester City. (Michelle deserves a medal!) It was an unbelievably sunny and mild day...
...Peder secured us great seats...
...it was an exciting match...
...the stadium was rockin' (click for the surround sound experience)......and the good guys won!
We relaxed, ate well, explored Horsham, and then spent Monday traversing the English countryside. The weather remained unseasonably gorgeous -- such a bonus. We went to the top of Devil's Dyke for it's view north towards London and south to the English Channel...
...which gave the boys an opportunity to run around and burn off some steam...
...with the added challenge of trying to avoid the cow patties! We drove on to the coast and had a perfect afternoon to explore Beachy Head. (Peder thinks that the name "Beachy Head" is too soft for this place, and has suggested "Steep As Hell Cliffs Head" as an alternative!) 
After a rare moment of quiet contemplation...
...the boys enjoyed "surfing" down the mounds of rocks and shells...
..and general clowning around too.
We went to the top of the cliffs and dared a peek over the edge...
...only to see seagulls flying UP to greet us!
We had a blast, and we're so glad they came to visit!
