After spending three months with us here in London helping us to get settled in, Uncle Casey left on Friday. Nathan became really attached to Casey, so Chris thought that a weekend in the English countryside might help to distract Nathan from the fact that Casey is no longer here. We spent a great weekend relaxing in Hertfordshire at the Hanbury Manor. It was really nice to get out of the city for a few days and breathe some fresh air and see the beautiful scenery. We went on walks through the grounds of the hotel, found the tennis courts (Nathan didn't want to leave those after he found an old, discarded tennis ball), enjoyed the indoor swimming pool, and found a really good pub that had the best Sunday Roast we have had so far. Nathan also loved the fact that our hotel had a golf course - we could barely keep him off of the putting green.
Our little getaway seemed to do the trick of taking Nathan's mind off of Casey. That is, until we got home. As soon as we got in the door, Nathan asked "Uncle Casey?" We had to remind him that he went on airplane home to California. He understood and seemed to move on, until this morning, when he woke up and asked if Uncle Casey was "night night" in the living room. I guess it might take a while before it fully sets in :)
