Christmas in Cornwall


We spent last week in Cornwall, on the southwest coast of England. We rented a house and had a very relaxing Christmas holiday there. The location was absolutely gorgeous!


On Christmas Eve we explored the area a little bit before it got too dark. The kids got new pajamas and we had a nice cozy evening together. Christmas morning included lots of Lego building, movie watching, and playing.


We went out on a walk to the beach, which was only two blocks away! We explored the beach and walked along the rocks and cliffs, and watched people surfing. It was a beautiful, sunny day.


On Boxing Day we visited the Eden Project, an indoor rainforest. It was really neat, and the perfect thing to do on a rainy, rainy day.

On Saturday we visited Tintagel Castle, the ruins of a castle built in the 1200s, also linked to the story of King Arthur.  It was built on the edge of a cliff, and the view was incredible. It was cold and so, so windy, but I loved it so much.

It was the perfect Christmas holiday, and we can't wait to go back and explore Cornwall some more!
