ANNIVERSARY

Kel and I were able to sneak away for a night in the Yorkshire Dales to celebrate #21.  We stayed at a nice inn that was set in some beautiful surroundings.  It was a nice quiet retreat for both of us.  


I'm not for fancy food...but this was on the menu and had to snap a pick. We opted not to enjoy this Yorkshire delight!

YORKSHIRE AIR MUSEUM

We visited the Yorkshire Air Museum this weekend in York (about 30 minutes from us).  This was an actual base during the World War and now it is the home of many planes of the day along with the many buildings that were used during the day.

ROYAL ARMOURIES

We visited the Royal Armouries in Leeds this past weekend with our guests.  Here they have a national collection of arms and armour with a collection of over 75,000 objects.


Below is the best view in the museum.  This is 5 floors straight up where they placed a variety of items along the wall to make quite a dramatic entry.









 

MALHALM COVE

We ventured out today to a place we have wanted to visit for awhile called Malham Cove.  We went for a nice hike back to the Cove and climbed to the top of it. Some of Harry Potter was filmed at the top of the rock formation.  We hiked our way up there...phew...should have brought my inhaler.  It was quite beautiful and a nice day out.
