We are exhausted, missing a whole nights sleep has left us feeling bushed. We arrived in Manchester and waited 2 hours to go through customs. CJ my youngest brother picked us up and we made our way to Chester. Chester is the quaint city that they live in, filled with tons of Roman empire history. I'm not going to spend to much time explaining the history on my trip, or I will miss out on more touring!! (I will come back and edit someday soon. I just want to get pictures up of our trip so the kids and family can see.)
Chester Cathedral!
The Cathedral was built in 1092- you can tell how old it was by the gargoyles. They were a thing of the time. CJ says they were to warn off the bad spirits. In churches built after the 13th century, they would use angels instead of the gargoyles. 
I also have read somewhere they were to represent the spirits that were lost between Heaven and hell.
This is the City Centre in Chester where all the shopping is done. We spent a little time there. Lots of shops.
