England!!


Hilltop - Beatrix Potter's House

Lake Windermere - We had to come up with new poses we needed a change
Paris Airport after 10 1/2 hour flight....little tired


Benningbrough Hall - I think
View Fountains Abbey


Ruins of Fountains Abbey
Pemberly!!!! Ok it's really Lyme Park but it's Pemberley from the A&E Pride and Prejudice
My roomie Elizabeth @ Fountains Abbey (She reminds me of you Mom she likes to climb on everything)

Found an iconic red telephone box so of course I had to take a picture!

Wray Castle - it's actually only about 200 or 300 years old, I don't remember, it was built too look mid-evil

We got caught in the rain one day so Elizabeth and Ann had hot chocolate (made with milk so I couldn't have any)

Cute stone wall, they're all over


This may or may not be Cartmel Priory....Guess I should have kept better notes
Furness Abbey - It's just crazy how old stuff is over there.

The trip was really fun, I'm so glad I went. I've been back for a week and I'm still trying to get caught back up at work but it was worth it. We traveled thru the Lake District for a few days and then down to York.
The scariest part was driving (or in my case riding) on the wrong side of the road. It's weird how much more it looks like people are going to run into you when they're coming from the other side of the road. Some of the roads were only wide enough for 1 car but were 2 lane roads!
I took almost 900 pictures and one roommate took just over 900, not sure how many the other took so I'll probably do a few posts on this.
