Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and York

On Christmas Day we woke up and opened gifts.  Everyone was very generous.  We went to church near our hotel and then relaxed the rest of the day.  We had a puzzle making contest, watched the queens speech and watched several movies.  

On Boxing Day we took the Mega Bus to Leeds and we went to TGI Fridays for dinner.  I got to try Mince Pie at the hotel!  Then Kayla, Emma and I walked to the city center.  There was a shopping center that would have been cool but everything was closed ... Probably for the better!!! We went back to the hotel and had ice-cream.

The next day Kayla's family rented a car and we were off to York.  Kat and Adrian both said it was an amazing city so we were excited.  We walked along the city wall, went to the shambles, the York Minster and Clifford's Tower.  We also went to The National Railway Museum.  It was so windy it was incredible and sometimes it just pushed you about.  Then we left York  went to Durham for the night where we stayed at a quant little inn called The Lambton Hounds Inn.  We had dinner and played cards before crawling into bed.
