That's great that even though you and your daughters father may not get along, you still have good ties with the rest of his family and it's also great your daughter can go there every year to spend time with that side of her family. Sounds like it all works out pretty well. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Saturday, March 21, 2009 10:06:29 PM)

Yep, and my daughter goes there almost every year. She gets to be with her family there. That is awesome! I wish they would come this way every now and again more often, because, I divorced my husband not his family, and I am still considered by my neice and nephew their aunt. They still love me and the family still loves me. I just couldn't get along with their son, brother whatever. I still have good ties with the family there.

I was like that when I went to Greece. I could have spent all day taking in the sites of so many monuments, but my husband at the time felt it to be old hat for him. Grow up around it and you don't appreciate it. I took 30 rolls of film while there for 5 weeks. I was very determined to get all I could recorded. I loved being there and the fact I had family there just made it that much sweeter. Got to see a side of the country most don't see.

MG - my husband and I went to the Paris Catacombs earlier this year, very cool! Gotta get there early though as the line is huge, they only allow a certain number of people inside at any one time. Very morbid lol. Here's me at the catacombs lol.
One of the awesomest things we did over in the UK was jump the fence to go to Urquhart Castle (on the shore on Loch Ness) at 10:30pm at night (our tour guide took us LOL so we didn't have to pay the usual 7 pound entry fee haha). It was very eerie and creepy cos the castle had a green light on it and you could hear the water of the Loch below. Just being in a place like that you can feel the history.
LOL I have so many photos of cool historical stuff you can see in the UK and Paris! It's amazing what history there is there.

Rob would like it there as well,, I told then to go to the Cardiff Castle and he went and posted those pics... LOL very neat tour they take you on.. A lady I worked with in Montana went there, her pictures were awesome.
Heres one from the catacombs in Paris.. its small but all I could find for now
and it's also great your daughter can go there every year to spend time with that side of her family. Sounds like it all works out pretty well.
