Morgan didn't get of to the best start losing his first fight but he gave it his all... he won his second and lost his third so no medals home with us this time... I have to say tho that the judo was harder and faster than anything they have experienced before as was the judging... but hopefully it will have opened their eyes as to what is in store for them in the future...
After this we headed to Old Trafford where Allan and Morgan did the tour (I declined this having done it before) and sat in the bar watching Man Utd get beaten by Everton 3-1...
Hoping this is who Morgan aspires to when he is training with Aberdeen Football Club....lol...
When they were finished we went over to the Trafford Centre and I feel like such a hick for saying it but it was amazing....shops upon shops upon shops and the food hall (The Great Hall) was simply something else...
The next morning we woke up to about 3" of snow and we got to the airport to find it shut... we sat in the executive lounge drinking cappuchinos and hot chocolate and eating croissants for 3 hours before our flight finally checked in... it was touch and go whether we would make it to Dublin in time for the connection to Aberdeen but we did and got home about 4.30pm picked up the girls and got Morgan finished packing for his school ski trip the next day....It's been relatively peaceful here with just the girls if you don't count Niamh....xoxo
Sounds like Morgan had a brilliant time. My my, what a long journey - beats driving though eh!. Yeah the Trafford Centre is fab, although not been for awhile. Was your last tour of Old Trafford with me and Ian, or have you done it since - my goodness, I had forgotten all about that. Sounds right for Manchester Airport. It doesnt take alot of snow to shut our airports - not like you hardy scots. Where has Morgan gone skiing - anywhere nice.
