Exploring

After the practice, the Mudgetts took us around the city. We talked with as many of the letting agencies that we could to see what houses they have available that we haven't seen online or to see if there were any coming up soon. Most were closed as it was Saturday afternoon, but we tried our best. It's different here house hunting from the States in that you can't just have one realtor who works with you and you see whatever homes you want. Here you have to contact each different letting agencies that puts that house up for let and set up an appointment with them individually. So, it's quite a bit more time consuming and not the easiest to do without a phone. But Kim and Drew hooked us up there. We bought a SIM card and are using one of their phones so we can at least call agents and try to set things up.
They took the kids over to Crepes and Cream to get something to eat while we talked with a few agents and then we met them there. It was delicious! I got a chicken, avocado, chipotle chili, and rocket one. So good! The kids all got ice cream and more ice cream. :)
Then we walked around and explored the city a bit. It's really quaint and lovely. Excited to get to see some more places!
Our first Family Picture in England!
While everyone in Colorado was having lots of rain, we had a gloriously sunny day in Harrogate!
