England Trip

WOW! That is a great way to describe our England Trip. Rick and I have been so blessed to have been able to go on the trips we have this year and this was another one that just he and I were able to go on for 5 days! There is so much history there and so much to take in and see. This picture is at the famous site Stonehenge. Just to be there and think that people 3000 plus years ago built this and possible to use as a calendar is just incredible. Sometimes I think we think we are so advanced and so technological but they did this stuff that long ago!! We walked a lot and saw so much..Buckingham Palace, the Changing of the Guard, Big Ben, Parliment, Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, The Tower of London, St. Paul's, Harrod's, and various other sites of the city! We stayed at the Four Seasons in Hampshire, about 1 hour outside of London and it was beautiful! One of my favorite things of the trip was going to a church service at Westminster Abbey. The famous singing by the choir boys and also just being in the place that all the Kings and Queens are crowned and where Princess Diana's funeral took place! It was an amazing trip and I am sure I will be blogging more about it!
