Trip to England

Rob and I had the privilege to visit his parents, in London, back in May. We had the best time. We saw so many things and had a great time of fellowship with his mom and dad.

This is my proud husband giving a "cheers" at the "Eagle and Child". This was the pub that the inklings(C.S. Lewis and his fellow writers)once found as their meeting place.

I had to be the typical tourist and get a shot of one of the famous, telephone booths.
"Look kids, Big Ben"

This is the amazing Westminster Abby. Rob was like a little kid getting all kinds of shots of the detailed architecture.
The above picture is one of the many chapels in Oxford. I think Oxford was one of my favorite places we visited. I felt like I was in a movie. The gardens were all so beautiful, the architecture grand and it was just plain romantic.

Windsor Castle was an educational experience. We saw the changing of the guard, the breath taking chapel and part of the Queens residence. If you look carefully you can see the flag raised high-the flag meaning that we were in the Queens presence that day.
This picture does not give the English country side justice. We drove out to the country side one day and I felt like I was on the set of "Holiday". There were yellow fields for miles and miles and then we would come to a quaint little village with a few pubs and a church. This pattern kept going and going. I wanted to just stop and soak it all in.
