A Train, Bruce Wayne and No RAIN!

 

 

 

Bradyn 8 1/2 months

8 October 2012

Clever title for a post because it encompasses everything that was our weekend in Nottingham. (Thank you Mr. Columbus for giving us another day off!) Tickets to Nottingham were a mere 18 pounds per person and B is free! So of course we didn't waste any time booking those tickets.

I can't believe B is old enough to sit in his own seat now. So grown up. His eyes and lips are gorgeous in this picture and I love his little bald head. He was a perfect train companion the entire journey. He also could have gotten a couple phone numbers from the two young ladies sitting behind us. What a flirt!

We walked two miles from our hotel to Wallaton Deer Park, which happened to be next to a golf course. We were so interested in the people playing around the deer, that we nearly missed the one directly in front of us.

Bradyn wanted out to the deer too.

 Just a few short yards away we oohed and ahhed
 Wallotan Hall-otherwise known as, Bruce Wayne (Batman) Manor

 

 

 

 

 

 
So before going to Nottingham I googled other things to do during our stay besides the usual shopping and Hooter's wings we typically partake in. When this beauty came up on the must see list, we were pretty excited. Darren is big comic book fan nowadays and he's  even more obsessed with Batman and his growing collection of comic books, which he says Bradyn or his family will make a fortune off some day. We have yet to see the movie in which Wollaton Hall appears (The Dark Knight Rises), but I'm sure it will be out on DVD soon and then we can say, "We were there!"
