In September, 2017, we were both living and working in New Jersey when we first met one night at Hub City Brewhouse in New Brunswick. This bar was known for having a great beer selection and awesome live music - two of our favorite things! Unfortunately, the combination of the loud band and the thickness of our respective Brummy and Pennsylvanian accents did not set us up for the best first date. Despite hardly being able to understand one another, we knew we wanted to see each other again, and a second date to Top Golf was set. From there, the odds seemed stacked against us. Dale was preparing to go back to England, unsure of when he could return with his new Visa, and Meghan was moving to Philly to start a new job. On our last date before Dale flew back home, we decided that we wanted to stay in touch and plan a trip for Meghan to come across the Pond to meet Dale's family and friends. During that first trip, we spent a long weekend in the Lake District enjoying the beautiful scenery and cozy culture of Northern England...we fell in love with the Lakes and each other. Since then, we've made a cross country move to Northern California where we live today. We brought a sweet Goldador named Stella into our family and have been enjoying exploring all of the great things California has to offer - from Napa and Wine Country, to San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge, to Lake Tahoe where Dale finally popped the question after 5 years together! We're so excited to celebrate and share our love of the Lake District with you all. Cheers!
