Stonehenge
Tuesday took us out of the city. I have always wanted to see Stonehenge and thought it would be a shame to not go if we had the chance. After looking into all our options on how to get there we decided it would be best to rent a car. Going on a tour bus would have been 12 hours long which would not have been a good thing with a baby. Looked into going by train, but their were only a couple trains that ran express and if you miss them then you are looking at a couple of hours on the train. Plus to get to Stonehenge you would have to take a 45 minute bus ride from the nearest city. No thanks, so we picked up our car at Healthrow and went on our way. Frank did a great job of driving on the opposite side of the road. Thanks Honey! When we got there it was freezing cold. No joke! I could see my breath. Along with raining. Thankfully, I had purchased our tickets on-line, so we didn't have to stand in line for tickets. I kind of thought they would be bigger than they actually were. Kind of cool to think they dragged the stones from the coast. Did you know that Stonehenge is a calender marking each month of the year, and the sun will hit a stone as it rotates around. Cool! We didn't hang out for long, but the countryside was beautiful despite the cold. Then it was off to bath which turned into an adventure, but more on that in the next post. Hope you are having a great weekend. My boys went to their grandma's for the day, while I cleaned. Got out for a little bit to watch the boat regatta. Have a happy Weekend!

There was an inflatable stonehenge at a festival in Glasgow recently that you could play on and bounce on just like a bouncy castle - wish I'd seen it! http://entertainmentdesigner.com/news/experiences/english-artist-creates-life-sized-stonehenge-bounce-house/
And Bath - hope you enjoyed it. I had a lovely weekend there recently.
