Once John got home from work on Wednesday and we got all packed up, we were off to RAF Lakenheath, for 2 nights. There was a Canadian conference/meet and greet for the military families. This is an American base, about a 2 hour drive from our home, which has American restaurants and a store that carries all the American goods that are very difficult (if not impossible) to purchase here in the UK. So for a short 2 hour drive we can stock up on almost everything that we miss from Canada.
Maci is ready to go!
We had the nicest room ever! It had 2 bedrooms, 1 with 2 single beds, 1 with a queen bed and a crib. Then the living room with a pullout bed, and a kitchen with fridge, oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, AND a washer and dryer. I couldn't believe how great this room was. I could totally move in!
This is the American mall.

The American grocery store! We got so many things that we miss from Canada.
Oh how I miss you my bowling balls and of course my bowling shoes. :(
Even a movie theatre on the base.
Here is Maci making her speech, she practiced a lot for this, and she did wonderfully.
Daddy and Maci getting into trouble playing the piano.
Then daddy decided Maci should pour him a beer as well....
The BEST thing about the American base....... Oh how I miss the good ol' egg nog. Too bad I had no rum near by.
