Bath

The Roman Bath and Nikki drinking "Bath Water"

Lovely English countryside on our way to Bath. Nice to get out of the city.

Windsor Castle

Behind my family is St.
George's Chapel. This is
where the Queen Mother
and King Henry IV and
many other royals were
buried.

Parade in Windsor. This is actually a practice one for the France's President Nicholas Sarkozy's visit tomorrow. It was also for this reason that the WC State Apartments was closed during our visit.

We took a day tour from Evan Evan tours and visited Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge. It was a pleasant relaxing drive. However, we were running on the way to Victoria Coach Stn. and almost missed the bus. Bill blurted out as we were running that "This is not a VACATION! We are going on a cruise next year!" Well, back to back Europe tour with the kids finally took a toll on us (I guess). Although, the kids have been WONDERFUL! No complaints, nothing! They had a great time. It's just us. It was a hectic trip. I am partly to blame because I made the itinerary and packed 2 countries in 10 days. Crazy! BUT... in the end we had a GREAT TIME. No Europe next year but this definitely wouldn't be our last. Sorry, back to the tour, it was short but we're able to visit many places in one day. We had enough time in Stonehenge to see the site, learn a little bit about it, take pics and shop for souvenirs.
