Volcano


 
A great father/son Sunday afternoon activity.  Andrew declares, "Daddy, let's do some science" and this is what Anthony comes up with.  Andrew LOVED it!

Royal Wedding Weekend in Bath


A four-day weekend gave us a great excuse to explore a bit of England.  We headed to Bath and nearby areas and had a perfect getaway.
Friday:
Watching the wedding at Windsor Castle (the Queen's weekend home) 

 
Avebury Stone Circle 

 
Castle Combe

Saturday:
 
Roman and Medieval Baths 

 
Bath Abbey, Royal Crescent, Old Town Bath and the Pulteney Bridge

Sunday:  Longleat Safari & Adventure Park
 
The Safari Park:
Even though the monkeys used our car as a trampoline and ate our windshield wipers and  we accidentally opened our sliding car door right in front of a lion, this was one of the highlights of the entire trip. 

 
The Hedge Maze

 
The Animals 

 
The Adventure Park 

Monday:
