My Dad's Birthday

So the main reason for going to England this year was the fact that my dad was celerbrating his 70th birthday. Anyone that knows me well knows that if I want something I just go and buy it, so buying Christmas or birthday presents for me tends to be tough. Well guess what, I got that from somewhere and that would be from my dad. Buying for him has it's issues, but my sisters husband came up with  the idea of doing a tour of Arsenal Football Club's stadium. My dad has been a life long supporter of Arsenal following in the footsteps of my grandfather and it was inevitable that I would be a lifelong follower too. So on my dad's birthday, my nephew Josh and myself took my dad on a tour with Arsenal legend Charlie George. It was a fun afternoon that took us into the Directors Box (where this photo was taken from), down into the changing rooms and onto the pitch. Charlie George was a great tour guide, with a fun sense of humor and gave great insight into the club. It was an amazing day out and great to give my dad a gift that was kind of unique.
