This spring Maren and I took a trip to England. I had promised her (and Erik) a trip after their senior year of High School. Last summer, with getting Erik ready for his mission, and getting Maren ready for BYU, we didn't have time for this. So we went after she finished her first year of college. (Erik will get his trip when he gets home..I'm thinking he will want to go to Mexico.)
Here are some pictures, in no particular order.
On the ancient wall surrounding the city of York
At the ruins of St. Mary's in York
York Minster in the background
In Bronte country, at the Wuthering Heights pub
A friend I have known online for about 6 or 7 years. It was great to finally meet him in person!
At the Roman Baths in Bath
Outside the cathedral in Bath.
This is the car we rented and put 1200 miles on. 1200 scary miles.
Westminster
Hampton Court Palace
Buckingham Palace
The White Tower at the Tower of London
Winsdor castle
The Round Tower at Winsdor
A cat we found in York. Maren named her Tulip
A cat we found in Haworth. This one got the name Apricot
Stonehenge. Windy both times I've been there
Maren at the big ring of rocks
This (and the next picture) is at a place called Lulworth Cove, along England's Jurassic coast.

Another picture of our little Ford Focus. At one point (day 1 or 2 of me trying to drive it...throw a (left-handed) stick shift on top of being on the wrong side of the car and on the wrong side of the road and you can understand the terror) Maren said to me "Why did we leave London? Why did we think this was going to be a good idea?" Once day 3 in the car hit, I was doing better and it was slightly less terrifying. I was so relieved when we turned it in and hadn't hit anything with my passenger-side wing mirror!
