Is this the BEST way to see LONDON?

[@pebblesdd4947]

Cannot get over Everly, she is the embodiment of happiness and joy. Love how physically connected you are holding hands and each other. Keep enjoying your adventures and safe travels!

[@LizHouck]

How do you guys not have 100k followers yet, this next year you’ll hit that and more, I just know it❤ This UK series has been amazing and the boat one the BEST. So good, that my hubby watched with me, and he never watches KZbin with me! Thanks,as always, for taking us along on your adventures. 😊

[@FnAVanLife]

Thank you so much! We appreciate the support and love, means the world! 😊 We are thrilled that we could keep your husband entertained too, always nice to win over a hard sell lol Thank you so much for the love Liz!!!

Who would have thought 3 American citizens are out here teaching me about my own country. Moreover, teaching me how beautiful life can be. I recently discovered this channel, and thanks in part to you, I feel invigorated to love life again after a traumaticed few years. Peace to you and your beautiful family ✌️

[@timhannah4]

Just Know it's appreciated 🤘.......Not wanting to get Political, it's a shame others don't respect our Beautifil Country!

[@TravelJennie]

The mom is Canadian

[@TimWhiting-p9d]

This is so true cos i live in London and haven’t done half the things these three are doing on their travels so it’s very inspiring!!

[@thebeatnik85]

​@@TravelJennie My bad. I can usually distinguish the difference between American and Canadian accents. Alex's accent sounded American to me

[@joanjackson2170]

Love how you carry your daughter around close to you instead of pushing her in a stroller. As she gets heavier you may have to do that but for now such great human touching for her.

[@FnAVanLife]

It's honeslty the best. We love being close and it's honestly easier than lugging around a stroller all the time. If I have the option, it's baby wearing all day!

[@NICKEXRN]

I happened to stumble on your channel about 3 weeks ago, and love every video. I even went back and watched loads from earlier, and its one of the only youtube videos i dont fast forward. keep on loving life, and your baby is so gorgeous x

[@FnAVanLife]

Wow!! We are humbled, thank you so much for the love and we are so happy to hear you're enjoying our videos!! Thank you!!!

[@JackieHenry-w9m]

I did this trip many years ago.we spent a week doing this trip we loved it.

[@florentinalily]

thanks for the vlog, a joy! Incidentally, Sunday roast is a UK tradition, not particularly yorkshire..

[@mavischips]

Great video as always. So glad your enjoying Britain. It's genuinely nice to see. I just wanted to say it may have been a Parakeet escaping captivity but we don't have wild Parakeets. It was probably a King fisher. They have really bright colours and are mainly green.

[@lisamillard1272]

As always you fabulous folks knock another out the park sooooo beautiful. Miss Everly is having a ball with her tootie smile. Ty so much much smile on me face 😅

[@FnAVanLife]

We love that you love it! Everly's smile is contagious, right?!?

[@Aaron-P]

Not salad cream!!! 😣😩😫 Oh, wait, it turns out I like that stuff. 😁 Hats off to you both for boating on a river in a foreign country! 😱 The locks seem more than a little intimidating. At 25:15, were those airplanes in/out of Heathrow? Amazing experience, thanks for sharing! Such a cutie, that Everly! ❤️❤️

[@FnAVanLife]

The first few locks were, but then you kinda get used to it. Yeah, that was airplanes going into that airport. Haha, the freaking salad cream.

[@suesmith460]

Well I live in Old Windsor and it was fascinating watching you sail practically past my house- a new perspective.

[@FnAVanLife]

Oh wow that is awesome. 😊🥰

[@lordcharfield]

Great to see the 3 of you breaking free and exploring the waterways together!

[@lordcharfield]

I presume that the parakeet was an escaped pet!

[@lynnhamps7052]

@@lordcharfield London has whole colonies of parakeets, they might have started from an escapee but it's been several years since they've been around.

[@FnAVanLife]

Super fun

[@FnAVanLife]

Yeah, that is what we have heard.

[@TalkingWithBob]

Merry Christmas Friends. I missed watching everyone. I am coming back tomorrow ❤

[@wenwake7584]

Another wonderful window into your UK travels. Especially love your Windsor visit... I did that a few times as a kid and it wasn't so crazy touristy then and we got into the inner circle of the castle, so to speak. I think I need to visit again, with sketchbook supplies to record (sketchbook and paint supplies isn't video afterall), as a middle-aged person to see if the magic still resonates. I'm only an hour or so away. Your travels make me realise how I take my country for granted!! My favourite part of this video... Everly dipping her fingers into all sorts of lovely muckiness... bless her!! She just always makes me smile! Kids over old stone architecture, always, LoL!! Much love! 🤗🤗

[@FnAVanLife]

We all do that in our own countries. Good that you are noticing it cause now you will get out and explore. Your home is beautiful 😍.

[@Clegg.]

Just gotta say, that opening scene is exactly where my Dad lives on the Thames river.. Instantly knew that small island spot 👌😁 That's Staines BTW, beautiful area of the Thames 👍

[@FnAVanLife]

No way! That is so cool. We really enjoyed this part of the trip.

[@genesiesky3756]

Nice to see that you had good weather to visit Windsor. Great video.

We lucked out!!! Except for that one soggy afternoon, the weather for our Le Boat ride was lovely!

[@MrAndyp72]

The Three Horseshoes pub is just up the road from me the food is always excellent, glad you enjoyed Windsor

[@FnAVanLife]

Well aren't you lucky to have that gem in your neighborhood!!! So delicious!!

[@JenniMBE]

Sunday roast is an institution but you can't beat homemade. It's so much better than pub version.

[@FnAVanLife]

Gotta agree with you. We have several homemade ones with Chris and Marianne while we were in the UK, and they were much better than any of the pubs.

[@niallrussell7184]

Could have tried a narrow boat and had 4700 miles of canal to explore in UK.

[@FnAVanLife]

that would be so cool!!

try the norfolk broads, less dense rivers, the towns along the thames are hit n miss n prob full of drunk people at closing time

[@jwSN12]

Loving your videos! Dreaming of buggering off in a van. 😊 You should come to Wiltshire! Get a canal boat down the Kennet and Avon canal. It goes into Bath too. A cob is just the namewfor the shape of the bread. We all call bread 'bread'! 😂 Different styles and shapes of bread, have different names. Farmhouse loaf, cob etc. There was alot more when I was young. Now we've gone all sour dough and artisan.😅 However, we would mostly call a bap a 'roll' in the West Country. Like 'I'll have a Bacon roll'. Further North East they may say 'bun'. 'I'll have a kipper in a bun'. Happy travels

[@FnAVanLife]

Crazy all the names for the shapes lol. Next time we come to visit we might just have to get that canal boat.

[@charlottecraig9959]

What a wonderful adventure! That roast beef dinner looked delicious…

[@FnAVanLife]

Right?!?! We were so excited to try a traditional roast dinner, and it was worth the hype. 10/10 😁

[@davidrichardson1uk]

That was a great video; I would love to take that trip. Glad you all enjoyed yourselves.

You totally should! It was such a great experience and Le Boat makes it easy for anyone of any experience to cruise!!

Hi guys, I live in Telford now but grew up in Old Windsor ( where you sailed past) going to Windsor. I call bread rolls Baps. The Magna Carta was signed just outside my village. I’ve been following your trip around the UK.

[@FnAVanLife]

Very cool! We actually spent a good amount of time in Telford and Shropshire. Sounds like you have lots of places in the UK you know and love. That is so awesome :)

[@laguna3fase4]

I have been to loads of places in the UK and worldwide,as I served in the RAF for 15 years as cabin crew. Before that I had a summer camp job in NY state ( near Port Jervis), and I lived in Spain for a couple of years. Most recent travel was to Ottawa for my son’s wedding in August.

[@monicamestas7566]

OMG! It's her first birthday! How is she walking all over the place and "talking" My granddaughter is 15 months and we're still waiting!

They all move at their own pace. Everly was around 8 to 9 months when she started walking. Now i have to run after her. lol

[@ChrisJames1973]

I can’t believe you were advised to moor at the place at Staines as that exact mooring has a terrible reputation.

Salad cream is the UK equivalent of American ranch dressing. If you’re bought up with it there’s nothing better,come to it as an adult newbie and it’s not good,(ranch isn’t nice to me). Love the vid,if you check foxes afloat channel,they used to do the narrowboat life vlogs and also went through Scottish lochs on a very similar boat to yours.

[@FnAVanLife]

Super cool. Yeah, we aren't fans of ranch dressing either. I can see them being equal to one another.

It was an Amazing Rescue & those Saved formed the Corp that trained the newly conscripted Army that went on to D Day & the Overthrow of the third Reich & the freeing of Europe in 1945
