Lake District-Matt's 30th Bday

Lake District-Matt's 30th Bday

A group of us headed down to the Lake District in England for Matt's 30th birthday. This is a gorgeous national park in northwest England near the Scottish borders. Think of great big rolling hills, sheep roaming fields, green grass, stone fences, windy roads and, of course, lakes. We stayed in a big cottage/house near the sea.
We were fortunate enough to see a St. George day celebration in one of the little villages complete with a dragon and a save damsel in distress, saved by George on his bike. Those are all the pictures that look like they're out of Monty Python. There was also a may day pole which little children danced around.
We did some hill walking with one walk in particular being pretty steep up hill and incredibly windy. The way the earth and sea collided nearly made you dizzy it seemed to be so angled.
It was a nice weekend of fresh air, good food and friends and Matt officially entered what I like to call his 'sturdy 30s'.
