Driving Day

Our first couple days of driving were pretty quick but as we left Warwick we prepared for our only real driving day of the trip.  Our first stop was Cadbury World, where the magic of chocolate never ends.

In addition to learning all about John Cadbury and his sons - the Cadbury Brothers - we got to see chocolate being manufactured, and walked down a chocolate street. 

Ava even got to design her own chocolate advert.  Of course, the best part was eating all the chocolate. Not only did the workers hand out chocolate as we arrived but we were able to try fresh, warm chocolate as it came right out of the pipes.  It was a chocolate dream come true.

We stopped for lunch at The British Oak in nearby Stirchley before making our longest drive up the trip up to the Lake District.

Our final stop was Crofton Cottage in Bowness on Windermere, our home for the next three nights.

Ava again has her own room, and for some reason we even have two sitting rooms - each with its own fireplace.
