First day, after flying in, we explored the Making of Harry Potter Tour.
It was really fun to see the props, costumes and sets they used.

We met up with my Uncle Bill and Aunt Juliet and their boys, Alex and Joseph.

It was great to see them but wish we could have had more time together.
Friday was our day we had to say Goodbye to Ashtyn. She was heading to Heathrow Airport to take a plane back to Utah. The rest of us left later that evening.
Looks like such a fun trip!!!
