We woke up Friday in our hotel room to a gloomy weather forecast, but that didn't stop us from making plans to explore this beautiful county. We headed south, and took a quick photo with the tiny island called St. Michael's Mount.
Along the way, we observed lots of abandoned tin and copper mines. We visited one, a National Trust property, called Levant Mine, since Cora worked hard on her miner's project just a couple of months ago.
She's planning to add this photo to her collection, and turn her written project into a book.
The mine here first appeared on a map in the mid 1700s, and the site has the only still-working steam beam engine.
We would have enjoyed our tour of the site more had the weather not deteriorated. We were very wet when we got back to the car!
The train ride was lovely, and billed to be the most scenic in England. Thankfully, the posted photos let us see what the foggy and rain-splattered windows failed to show us! 
Rain or not, the kids had to play on the beach. They got soaked, naturally.
Being wet through didn't mean they didn't want ice cream, though!
We ended up in a toy store, where Stace bought the kids candy and Dean and Jen very generously bought them new Lego sets. They came in handy in the hotel room that night!
