Every Queen needs a bathroom.

We are having a great time with Al & Joanne here and on Saturday morning we were joined by Jer's brother, Jon, who is working this week just outside of London (visitor #5!). While Jer went to pick up his bro at Heathrow (please note intentional rhyming), Joanne & I took the boys into Brighton to the Mini Maker's Fair. The boys were in heaven admiring all the robots, computer generated 'stuff', arts and crafts. While we composed a symphony with rocks, made fish out of willow and tissue paper, made remote control vehicles, the highlight of it all was the spray painting record art they did. Joanne & the boys have been planning their business of doing the same thing back in MN at local art fairs someday...

Yesterday we split up for the day. Jer, his dad, brother & O went to see the horse races while Joanne, W & I went to the Arundel Castle. We had a great time exploring the beautiful gardens and sampling a few beautiful red and yellow raspberries that were just too irresistible to leave untouched. When we went into the castle to use the restroom, Walter said "Every Queen needs a bathroom, right Mom?"

Dinner at the beach = perfect.
