A day with family

Today was spent with family. We decided we would go to North Down Museum to learn about the history of Bangor. It was really interesting and we had a wonderful afternoon walking around there.

We discovered that the Danes actually attacked Bangor away back in 795 - you bad, bad Danes!

How on earth did they ride bikes like the one below....



There was a whole section in the museum about The Vikings...but we had a true viking with us!



When we had enough culture we headed into Bangor for a bit of shopping. Then it was home to Gillians again for a lovely dinner. It was a super afternoon and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Gillian , Lauren and Lewis!

Love the pictures.

Isn't is good that they had a whole section just to make Leah feel at home:-)

So the Danes have been taking away Irish treasures for a long time, Kristian wasn't the first!:-)

Lauren looks more like Gillian than Gillian does!!!!!! (ie the Gillian that I remember, 19 years ago)
