At two weeks old, June is still a sweet, content baby. She lost her umbilical cord finally so we were able to give her her first real bath (which she hated!). We also took our first real outing to a grocery store because we were out of real food. I had to push the two boys in a cart in front of me and pull her in a cart behind me in her carseat, ha ha. But she slept the whole time and we had food to eat for dinner, so it was a win-win.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
June is sleeping from about 9 or 10 PM until about 2 AM, and then going back down until 6 or 7 AM. She still naps a lot during the day but is starting to get a little more interactive. She seems to smile a lot at Henry! I kept thinking it was just gas, but now I'm convinced she just loves Henry to pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
June also loves her binky, and only cries when she's hungry or has a dirty diaper. Most of the time she is a very content little babe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
June had her two week checkup and weighs 8 lbs 7 oz (so almost back to her birth weight), and is 21.5" long. Maybe she'll be tall like Stanley? We'll see.</div>

We had Chris's cousin <a href="http://www.melaniericephotography.com/" target="_blank">Melanie </a>take June's newborn photos when she was six days old. Melanie does SUCH a good job and we've loved the newborn photos she did for <a href="http://thespencerspot.blogspot.com/2012/02/henrys-newborn-photos-melanie-rice.html" target="_blank">Henry</a>, <a href="http://thespencerspot.blogspot.com/2014/05/stanleys-newborn-photos-melanie-rice.html" target="_blank">Stanley</a>, and the six month photos she did of <a href="http://thespencerspot.blogspot.com/2010/05/melanie-rice-photography.html" target="_blank">Emme</a>. If you're in Salt Lake County or Utah County and you're looking for a photographer, be sure to check her out!</div>

At one week, June is a champion nurser and such a calm baby. She sleeps 4-6 hours in between feeds at night...once we get her settled down (which is sometimes midnight or 1:00 AM, ha ha). She loves her pacifier, and so far has not been maimed by her big brothers. So we're calling it a win! It's like having a little piece of heaven in our home, and we couldn't be more in love.<br />

It was kind of a no-brainer. She dropped pretty low in the weeks before her due date and I had a lot of pain walking, so I thought for a while there that we might not make it to her due date! But we did. The week before I was dilated to a 2 and 50% effaced, which is more dilated than I've ever been at that stage before, so I made sure to take it easy the last week as much as possible. <br />
<br />
They called us on the morning of the 21st at about 7:00 AM and told us to come right in. I called my mom to let her know, and she said she'd get ready and meet us there. We got to the hospital about 7:30 and started the check in process, which took some time. I got into my gown, they got an IV started, gave me a whole bag of fluids and then started Pitocin at about 8:30. <br />

At 8:45, Dr. Brown came in to break my water. That was the most painful part of the whole day, ha! Apparently I had like four layers of membrane, and she had to keep going back in with the hook to try to break another layer. Oy! She said my water was never ever going to break on its own, ha ha. They let me contract for a while, and I told them I was ready for an epidural. When they went to call the anesthesiologist, he was in a C-section, so we had them turn down the Pitocin while we waited for him. I did not plan on having this baby without the epidural!<br />
<br />
At about 9:45 the anesthesiologist finally arrived and gave me the epidural. Then the nurse turned the Pitocin back up a little bit and they let me contract. My mom and Chris and I sat and visited and passed the time. At about 10:45 AM the nurse checked me and I was still at 2 cm. Chris was a little disappointed because he thought the baby was going to be here by 10:00 AM. Ha. Lunch rolled around and they checked me and I was at a 5. Chris walked over to get lunch at Costco (he kept saying how cold the room was and how he was glad to go walk out in the 100-degree heat to warm up, but I thought the room felt delightful!). After he came back my mom went down to the cafeteria and ate lunch.<br />

<br />
At about 1:25 the nurse came in and checked me and I was at a 7. She suggested we roll me to my other side, so we did. As soon as she did that, I had two big contractions that I could "feel" through the epidural, and then I felt a ton of pressure. We called her back in to check me and sure enough, I was complete! The room had already been set up so they called Dr. Brown down and she got there pretty quickly. As she was prepping the bed, they rolled the mirror over and I could already see all of her hair! It was crazy. I wasn't even having a contraction, but Dr. Brown said, "How about you give a little push?" I gave one push and her head came right out. With a second push her shoulders came out (which were a little broad and I ended up needing like two stitches), and she was here! They put her right on my chest and rubbed and rubbed her because she was still a little purple. She was so mellow that she didn't even cry at first but finally she let out a few screams to get all the gurgles out.<br />

She nursed wonderfully right away and has been such a mellow baby. Her sucking reflex is so strong that the nurses in the nursery gave her a binky to suck on to give me a little break, ha ha.<br />
<br />
June is such a little piece of heaven and we are so glad to have our rainbow baby here safe and sound!<br />

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25<br />
We grabbed a French pastry at Paul's across the street for breakfast and then headed to the Victoria & Albert Museum to be in line when they opened. It was just one block up the street from our hotel.<br />

One of our favorite rooms in the V&A Museum was the Cast Court. Basically, they've gone to other famous scultpures in the world and taken exact replica plaster casts of the sculptures, then brought them home and put the replica casts on display.<br />
<br />
This is an exact replica of Michaelangelo's David in Italy. WOAH. I had no idea he was this big. MASSIVE.<br />

Here's a view down the court. They had casts of famous doors at churches, graves, fountains, sculptures, etc. It was so fascinating. We spent a lot of time in there.<br />

My next favorite room were the Raphael Cartoons. So when Michaelangelo was commissioned to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the 1500's, Raphael was commissioned to do the art on the tapestries that were to cover the walls. He painted these full size masterpieces (like 10 feet by 15 feet, so they are lifesize) that were then carefully cut into strips and sent to the weavers to be made into tapestries. Sometime later, the paintings were reassembled and mounted on canvas. They are now owned by Her Majesty The Queen, but she has loaned them to the Victoria & Albert Museum to be on display. They are just massively gorgeous. Definitely one of my most favorite things we saw on this trip.<br />

Westminster Abbey. It was like $30 bucks to go inside and Chris was "all churched out," so we didn't go in. This is one that I wish we had! So much history here. And so beautiful. I'm sure the inside is just as lovely as the outside.<br />

We walked down Whitehall Road past the Imperial War Museums and stopped for a couple pictures at the Horse Guards Parade. This is where the changing of the guard starts. They do it every day in the summer and every other day in the off-season.<br />

As we walked back toward our hotel, they had set up ice skating and Christmas lights in front of the Natural History Museum. It's only October, people! Sheesh. (And it really wasn't that cold. We didn't even have coats, just layered sweaters and jackets.) Then we ate dinner at Leon's again (they did mediterranean boxed dinners that I quite liked) and got a Ben's Cookie next door before we headed back to the hotel to crash.<br />

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26<br />
This was our last full day in London. And our grand finale -- the Harry Potter play! Here I am getting dressed for the day. The play didn't start until 2:00 PM but I had to wear my Hogwarts shirt, of course.<br />

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was sold out as far in advance as they were selling tickets. I ended up putting a search out on ebay before we came to London and found some tickets that I bought from a woman for about twice face value. It was a screaming deal, considering they were selling on Stubhub for about four times face value, and selling like crazy! This was my certificate to prove she had "gifted" the tickets to me. I had to remember to take this with us that day.<br />

We didn't have any huge plans for the morning so we decided to walk to Harrods for a pastry for breakfast. It was much less overwhelming on a weekday morning when it wasn't so crowded.<br />

I won't give anything away, but MY GOODNESS. I hadn't read the screenplay book before we came, because I'd heard it was best to see it live without reading it first. The special effects were incredible, the actors were amazing, it was just MAGICAL.<br />
<br />
The do the play in two parts because it's so long. You can either buy tickets for parts 1 and 2 and consecutive days, or you can buy tickets for parts 1 and 2 both in the same day, which is what we did. And I'm so glad we did! I couldn't have waited 24 hours in between parts 1 and 2. Way too much suspense!<br />
<br />
In between parts 1 and 2 we took some pictures outside, then walked around and grabbed some dinner.<br />

We walked past a place selling Spanish Jamon. Yum! Then we wandered a bit and did some shopping. We had about two hours all total in between parts so we just relaxed and enjoyed the night life in this part of town we hadn't really been in at night.<br />

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect going into the play at all, but I
laughed and I cried and I loved it. It was so emotional and real and
magical! The characters were alive on stage, right in front of my eyes,
and I could see every bead of sweat from where we were sitting. I couldn't have imagined anything
better. It was the perfect finale to a perfect trip. Like the icing on the cake! If the play ever comes to New York or LA, I'm so road tripping
it there to see it again. Everyone needs to see this play! Gah. Amazing.<br />
<br />
After the play ended, we hopped the tube and went home to crash, because it was close to 10:00 PM already.<br />
<br />
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27<br />
We woke up and took our time packing up our things to head to the airport. We took the last of the pounds we had left and bought some pastries at Paul's before hopping on the tube to the airport. Here is our last selfie in Heathrow.<br />

We took the tube to Victoria and did a hop on/hop off bus tour for about 2.5 hours on the red line. The Original Tour bus company was running a special that let us use our pass for 48 hours instead of the normal 24, which was awesome. It also included a boat ride down the Thames so we totally took advantage of that too.<br />
<br />
It was pretty overcast (but not rainy!) and we were determined to get the best views of everything so we rode on the top of the open-air bus in the front row for all 2.5 hours. By the time we got off, I was shivering and we ended up having to grab some hot chocolate to warm up! (They literally serve hot chocolate EVERYWHERE. It's like one of the best things about London!)<br />

We had lovely views of the city and architecture, and we fully enjoyed all of the historcial commentary. I wish I could remember it all, because it was fascinating! It made me want to take one of these tours in New York City or even in Salt Lake, because I bet there's a lot I don't know.<br />

Regent's Street. The tour told us that the royal family owns a lot of the real estate on Regent's Street. You can tell if you're in the area they own because all the lamp posts have little crown insignias near the top. All the rent from this area is used to fund their household. Apparently this is the busiest shopping street in all of Europe. I found that interesting, because it's a lot of regular stores, not super high end shopping like we saw in Barcelona or Paris. But we actually did a lot of shopping there at Hunter, H&M, Ralph Lauren, etc. So I guess that makes sense. It was always quite busy!<br />

The Albert pub (named after Queen Victoria's husband). This is just a couple blocks away from the parliament buildling, and dates back to 1862 and was miraculously undamaged during WWII bombings. Members of parliament come here for a drink between sessions, and they ring a bell when it's time for them to head back for the next session.<br />

I felt like the massive crowds were more impressive than the actual changing of the guard. I've never seen anything like it! According to Rick Steves', more purses are stolen here every day than anywhere else in the world. <br />

We ate a quick lunch at a cute deli (they served homemade pickles with their sandwiches. Amazing! And being pregnant, those pickles tasted soooo good. I think I finished off Chris's also.), then hopped on the tube and headed to The British Museum.<br />

As we were walking down the road, we stumbled upon a Shake Shack. So random. Chris has always wanted to eat at the one in Las Vegas (which is the one closest to us), but we've never made it there. So even though we'd already eaten lunch, we popped in for a hamburger and a brownie concrete.<br />

We hopped off the boat at Tower Pier and headed straight for the Tower of London. We only had about an hour and a half before they closed, so we had to hustle.<br />
<br />
The Tower of London is technically actually called "Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London." It was built in 1066 and used as a prison until 1952. It also served as a Royal Residence for a time, as well as a zoo to the pets that were given to the Royal Family as gifts from other countries. (What do you buy the person who has everything? A lion, apparently.)<br />

Once inside, we headed straight for the Crown Jewels display. They didn't allow any photography inside, but it was a really neat exhibit. They had crowns and scepters from many kings and queens on display. One of the scepters had a diamond at the top of the staff that was like 35,000 carats. Can you imagine?? I've never seen anything like it. They had the displays in these huge glass cases, and then a slow-moving conveyor belt on either side that you stood on and it moved you past the displays slowly. I guess to keep the crowd moving -- so you had to look quickly while you had the chance.</div>

Then we climbed the tower and walked all the way around one of the concentric perimeters of the place. Inside a few of the corner towers, there were still engravings on the walls from prisoners who had been held there. Some had signed their names, etc. They had plaques explaining the details of who some of them were and why they were being held, etc. I thought it was fascinating!<br />

They also had a whole exhibit about the animals kept at The Tower of London. Kings and Queens from other countries would give exotic animals as gifts to the Royal Family, and they were kept here. There were monkeys, lions, and all sorts of exotic pets. It turned into almost a zoo of sorts, because for a long time it was the only place these type of exotic animals could be seen in London.<br />

We crossed the Thames along the Millenium Footbridge and then wandered the city. We ended up walking past St. Paul's Cathedral again, and ALL of the bells were ringing at full blast. We were there for more than 15 minutes and there was no end in sight. We couldn't figure out if it was a wedding or what. But it was lovely. And LOUD.<br />

We wandered past the London Stock Exchange, which Chris found underwhelming compared to the New York Stock Exchange. Here we watched a lady steal a purse and run, and get chased by a few civilians and some police. I took a video of it, and it was bizarre. When confronted, the lady had a complete mental breakdown on the sidewalk, ha ha. It was the weirdest thing we saw in all of England!<br />

By this time we were pretty pooped from all the walking today, so we hopped on the tube and headed for home to eat dinner. Then of course, we went next door to try some dessert. I felt like it was my duty to try one of everything while we were there. You know, when in Rome..<br />

This is what it looked like when we got there! There is a gift shop and a cart sticking partially out of the brick wall, as well as a big winding line and professional photographers to take your photo. It was fantastic!<br />

Chris humored me and waited with me in line for almost an hour. It happened to be a Saturday, so who knows if the line was longer because of that or not, but at any rate, I WAS GOING TO GET MY PICTURE TAKEN. Ha ha!<br />

There is a guy whose sole job it is to throw your scarf when the photographer takes his picture. MAGIC.<br />

I mean, do I look a little excited?? I WAS. Then I went inside the Platform 9 3/4 gift shop and milled around for a bit. They had Gryffindor scarves and personalized Hogwarts acceptance letters and time turner necklaces, oh my. It was actually so overwhelming that all I bought was some chocolate bars that said Platform 9 3/4 on it. Ha.<br />

Then we bought an Oyster Card for each of us and hopped on the Tube to the Kensington Stop towards our hotel. We checked in at the Pelham hotel, which was lovely. It was right across the street from a tube stop, right down the street from a few museums and the LDS church, and on the same road as Harrod's. Plus, Kensington was just a lovely neighborhood. So pretty and clean (but really, all of London was really clean). In Kensington they don't let hotels put out street signs, they're only allowed right on the wall next to the door. It keeps the neighborhoods looking lovely. </div>

Then we walked back towards our hotel, ate dinner at Leons (Mediterranean and yummy), and then hopped on the tube to Covent Garden. We walked through Chinatown.<br />

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 23<br />
We woke up early the next morning to go to church at 9:00 AM at the nearby ward building. We ate some granola bars for breakfast and walked three minutes up the street to arrive just in time for church. Well it turns out, it was Stake Conference in London that day, too. So we were an HOUR early for church. The missionaries invited us in, and we sat on some of the benches in the lobby area and watched a few videos about the history of the church in the Hyde Park Stake. Some of them were really interesting. <br />

When it was time for Stake Conference to start, we went into the chapel and found a soft bench to sit on.<br />

The mission presidents from the London England mission and the London Temple both spoke. It turns out, the London England mission presidents actually are my brother's good friend's parents, and only live about half a mile from our house in Cottonwood Heights, but I didn't realize at the time that's who they were! Small world.<br />

After church we walked back to our hotel and grabbed our laundry that never got washed in York, and walked up the road to a laundromat. It was like 5 GBP per wash load and 1GBP per ten minutes in the dryer. Soooo expensive! The only argument we had on this trip happened in this laundromat, when Chris tried to convince me I could wear all my shirts one more time without needing to wash them, ha ha. Ummmm, NO!<br />
<br />
After we dropped off our clean laundry, we took the tube up to Notting Hill Gate and basically walked West to East all the way across London, starting with Notting Hill and ending at Buckingham Palace.<br />

After Buckingham Palace, we took the tube back down to Regent's Street to do some shopping. The tube ended up being SO convenient and easy to use. There were stops everywhere, and the service was fast and slick. Plus with the Oyster card, you could rack up a maximum of like 6 GBP per day and after that it stopped charging you. So on the days we used it, we just used it hard. It was so great.<br />

I bought a few pairs of rain boots for the boys at the Hunter store, because they were like fifteen dollars cheaper in London than they are here at Nordstrom! Crazy.<br />

After we left Blenheim palace, we hopped in the car and headed North towards York. Our rental car place was set to close at 5 PM so we were hustling to drop off our car before then. On the way we passed a bunch of nuclear power plants off to the side of the road. I nerded out and had to take a picture.</div>

We got to York just in time, but hit a ton of traffic heading into the city. Luckily we made it to the rental car place with like fifteen minutes to spare! We were about a mile from our hotel but we decided just to hoof it on foot and get to know the city, rather than wait for a bus. It was starting to get dark, but as we crossed the bridge into the city we got our first view of the York Minister, which is a Gothic cathedral. So cool!<br />

We checked in at The Hazelwood hotel. (This pic was taken the next day when it was sunny.) It was pretty cute from the outside. It was like two four-story brownstones connected and turned into a hotel. Small and cute.<br />

It was a pretty cute hotel but we soon learned they had a serious problem with air circulation, ha ha, and we got serious condensation when either of us took a shower. There was no fan or air control in our room at all. They also had awful internet, which posed a huge problem for us because we had been downloading maps of the city at our hotels and then walking off with our phones on. Without the ability to download maps, we were a little bit lost. We couldn't even call an uber or look up a nearby laundromat. Even after alerting them to the wifi issue multiple times, they couldn't seem to get it together. Oh well!<br />

After we settled into our hotel, we set off to explore the city and find some dinner. We ended up at Bill's, which was SO GOOD. Definitely one of the favorite places we ate in all of England. I guess York is known for being a foodie city, and Bill's lived up to that. We intended to go back for breakfast one day but never ended up making it back. </div>

After dinner we headed down to the river for a Ghost Walk. I guess York is known for having some haunted houses and such. There is this old guy who is a great storyteller who leads a ghost walk every night at 8 PM. You just show up with $5 bucks outside a certain pub and he walks you all around famous sites in the city and tells you stories. I actually didn't think the stories were scary at all, to me they were heart-warming and proof of life after death, and proof that family members who leave us still watch over our lives. I kind of loved it. Plus, we got a great first day's exposure to the layout of the city and where things were. However, it was SUPER cold in York, and we were frozen when we got back to our hotel. I bought a pair of gloves in town the next day to try to stay a bit warmer, we just ran out of layers. Still, we were thankful for no rain!<br />
<br />
York is a fascinating city. Here's a little model of the city that helps a little bit. You can see the huge minister in the center, as well as the square wall that used to be the city wall in medieval times and the River Ouse that winds through. York was the capital of the Roman empire in 71 AD (they called it Eboracum). Constantine was declared emperor here in 371 AD. The land where the Minister stands was originally a Roman place of worship, and it was added onto and changed over time as the city changed hands. The Vikings took over from 850 to 950 AD (they called the city Jorvik), left their mark on the city, and then when they left it went back to British rule. In the middle ages it was a huge wool trading center, as well as the capital of the Church of England. The York Minister was built on top of the Roman and subsequently Viking place of worship between 1300 and 1400 AD. Now, York is a major railway hub, a center of a large university, and it thrives mostly on tourism. <br />

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21<br />
We woke up, pounded a few granola bars for breakfast and then headed over to the York Minister for a tour. It's one of the largest medieval cathedrals in all of Europe, and it's gorgeous.<br />

I took a series of "selfie spin" videos for my brother Stu on this trip, in various locales. This is a snip from a seflie spin I did in the Chapter House, an octagonal chapel attached to the cathedral with 8 huge stained glass windows. It was a really neat room.<br />

After we visited the main floor of the cathedral, we went down to the undercroft, where a Viking exhibit was being displayed. They had all sorts of cool viking artifacts that have been uncovered over the years. (There is a viking museum in York but it was flooded about six months before our visit, so three displays had been set up around town in various church's so visitors could still see most of the artifacts, while the museum was being repaired and renovated.)<br />
<br />

As you walk around the city, there are random pieces of architectural history just hanging around. Like this random Roman column! So cool.<br />

We walked down a famous road called "The Shambles." In medieval times, this narrow street was lined with butchers shops and hanging carcasses, and was the center of trade.<br />

We were hungry for lunch and ended up at Pizza Hut of all places, for an all you can
eat buffet. So gross, but so good. We just needed some good old
pizza, so we did it. Plus it was 7.50 GBP, which was like $8.90 USD.
Pretty cheap for all the pizza you can eat!<br />
<br />
Then we walked to St. Mary's church to see another one of the Jorvik viking exhibits that was being housed there. St. Mary's dates from the 11th century, but most of the church had been reconstructed in the 15th century. It's no longer operated as a church, but houses traveling exhibits.<br />

This Jorvik exhibit had volunteers who were in character as vikings, demonstrating their weaving, their arts, their lifestyle, etc. This exhibit had an almost intact viking longship on display, which was really cool. I believe the only other fully intact one is in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, which I've also been to. The one in Oslo was much bigger. Still, this was a really neat exhibit, with lots of interactive things to do.<br />

After we left St. Mary's, Chris was all viking'd out, so we skipped the last Viking exhibit which was at the Royal Theater. We walked down Goodramsgate and popped into a few shops, where I bought some gloves. My favorite shop was this one, which sold nothing but buttons. It was amazing! And so overwhelming that I didn't buy a single one, ha ha, even though I go through a lot of them when I sew.<br />

Then we walked down toward Clifford's Tower, to see it in the daylight. It's so random, just this huge castle tower on a hill in the middle of the city. It is a medieval Norman castle, built in 1068. <br />

Chris was really intent on seeing the LDS church in York. We found the nearest one with our wifi at dinner the night before, so we decided to walk to it.<br />

We passed a few medieval buildings that had been turned into pubs. So crazy! Like, you'd just be walking along and seeing normal architecture and then, BAM, a building clearly from medieval times. So cool.<br />

We passed through Mickelgate, which is one of the four medieval corner towers of the city wall. We climbed up the steps and took some pictures from the top of the tower and the wall adjacent to it. Cars drive right through the lower gates as they come in and out of the old part of the city.</div>

I think we half expected to run into some members or missionaries there, but there was no one. We did seem to be situated a little bit in the suburbs, though, because the houses nearby were large and nice, and we saw a lot of families with two or three children, passing us on bikes or with strollers.<br />

On the door was a flier advertising the Stake Conference for the coming Sunday, with Elder Nelson as the main speaker! Unfortunately, we were headed back to London the next morning, so we couldn't make it to the conference. It would have been really neat.<br />

I sat down on the wall of the church near the road and decided that we if we sat there long enough, a member or someone would stop and give us a ride back to our hotel. We had no wifi so we couldn't call an uber or even look up a bus schedule. We did have enough of a map downloaded to at least get us back to our hotel, thank goodness.<br />
<br />
Well, nobody came, ha ha. So after we'd rested for a bit, we hoofed it back towards our hotel, and we stopped at the train station to scope out our platform for our train the next morning and make sure we knew where we were going. Then we passed over the River Ouse via Lendal Bridge toward our hotel.<br />

Bootham gate, part of the old wall gates. If you walk through underneath the tower, it's a walking only street with cute shops and salons. I bought a few souvenirs there.<br />

When we got back to our hotel, we crashed a bit for a nap. We had done a TON of walking that day. Then we woke up and walked with our laundry down the road to a laundromat, but it was closed by the time we got there (dang internet! would have been helpful.), so we walked back to our hotel, dropped the laundry, and wandered down the street for some dinner. It happened to be my birthday, so Chris let me pick the place and we ended up at Jim's for dinner, which was good but slow. We wandered around the city for a bit, then headed home, watched an old X-Files on tv, and then crashed.<br />

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22<br />
We slept in a little, then packed up our things and headed to the train station. We arrived with plenty of time, so we ate some breakfast and enjoyed the free wifi on the platform for a while. When our train arrived, we were in first class where they served us lunch and had excellent wifi while we traveled. It was a fast train, so it only took us about two hours to reach London! And just look at that amazing weather waiting for us. Woo! <br />

After we left Avebury, we drove straight up to The Cotwsolds and checked into our hotel at the Stow Lodge in Stow-on-the-Wold. The Cotwsolds are a cluster of small towns nestled in some rolling hills that were booming during the wool trade due to their famous breed of wool-sheep. When cotton became popular, the wool market crashed and so did the economy in the Cotswolds. But due to some strict building codes, all of the towns have remained frozen in time, just as they were during the wool boom. The Cotsolds are also one of the places that city-dwellers go to "get away from it all," for a week of country, slow-paced living. We found the place quaint and beautiful!<br />
<br />
Our hotel in Stow on the Wold used to be the rectory of an old church (located next door), that has been converted into a hotel. It was very quaint and bed-and-breakfasty.<br />

Sitting in the town stocks. Our town (Stow) consisted of one main street, that took about ten minutes to walk. It was so small! And so quaint. There was an amazing chocolate shop on the street, that sold chocolate-covered everything. One day we skipped lunch and just ate chocolate. I intended to bring some home...but none of it made it. Ha ha!<br />

We got settled into our hotel, took a walk down the main road in Stow to familiarize ourselves with the town, and then drove to dinner in another town nearby. The pub was called The Fox Inn. I got this baked cheese masterpiece as an appetizer and it was one of the top five best things I ate on the whole trip. Amazing!<br />

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19 <br />
The next day we drove through all of the nearby Cotwsold towns -- Northleach, Bourton-on-the-Water, Upper and Lower Slaughters, and Kineton. Each was more beautiful than the last. The landscape was so beautiful and green, with rolling hills.<br />

We passed people on horseback in full riding gear, and people heading to the fields with guns, hunting attire and a hawk (is it hawks that they use to hunt with? I don't even know) tethered to their arm.<br />

This is the Stanway House in Kineton. It's an old manor that is still in use and is open for tours during the summer, but it was closed when we were there (October). Still, the outside was lovely, and the church next door with the cemetery were also lovely.<br />

After driving through those other towns, we came back to Stow to walk around some more. There was supposed to be a huge horse-trading fair held by the Gypsies the day after we left Stow, and rumor had it that they would start filing in by the hoards soon. So we walked down to the end of town and saw some of them setting up their camps in this huge open field. The city was crawling with police offers too, ha ha. The next day on our way out of town when we drove by, I didn't get a picture but this field was completely FULL of trailers and campers. Walking through town I couldn't necessarily tell which people were locals/tourists and which were gypsies, except that their accents were different than the English somehow. Maybe Irish? I don't know. <br />

Then we hopped in our car and drove North through Moreton-in-Marsh up to Stratford-Upon-Avon, which is where Shakespeare was born. Here was our first little view of the city. <br />

We found a longterm car park on the edge of the city near the river and then headed up the main drag towards Shakespeare's birthplace and home. The architecture was unique and the city was cute and lively. Lots of
tourists and lots of souvenir shops -- much different than Stow and the
other sleepy Cotswold towns.<br />

Here we are in front of Shakespeare's birth place -- the home his parents owned when he was born. His dad was a glove maker and sold his handmade leather gloves out of the shop window to the right of me. The room Shakespeare was born in is right above Chris's head.<br />

We took a tour of the inside, which was fascinating. They had volunteer guides in every room who could tell you stories and all sorts of interesting things about the time Shakespeare lived. It was probably one of my most favorite tours we took on this trip. Here is the view out the upper bedroom window where Shakespeare was born.</div>

After the tour they let you out into the backyard. As you walked through the garden, there were volunteers there in full costume who asked us if we wanted to hear some lines recited. They even let you choose which play. Then they sat you down on a bench and gave a dramatic recitation of a piece of one of Shakespeare's plays. I thought it was fantastic and so neat! I was totally into it. Chris thought it was awkward and didn't know where he was supposed to be looking, ha ha. Weirdo.<br />

It really struck me how much of a family man Shakespeare was. Even though he moved to London and became fairly famous during his lifetime, he valued his roots and moved back to Stratford. This is the church he was Christened in, married in, and buried in. I thought it was so neat.<br />

After we left the church, we walked along the River Avon towards the Globe Theater. It was beautiful, with weeping willow trees and swans swimming in the water, just like I'd seen in pictures.<br />

The Globe theater was huge and modern, and I don't think I took any pictures of it. But we walked through the gift shop and browsed a bit before we headed back to our car. On our way home from Stratford I was so tired that I fell asleep in the passenger seat whilst I was supposed to be navigating with the GPS, ha ha ha. In my defense, this had been a LONG day.<br />
<br />
On the way home we stopped in Chipping Campden to see the city. It is another tiny Cotswold town with one main street. It had a really neat WWI and WWII monument in the center of town with the names of all the fallen soldiers from Chipping Campden. There were so many, it must have been a big blow to such a small community.<br />

In Chipping Campden we found a small grocery/drugstore that was open and bought our first batch of Kinder Eggs to bring home to the kids, ha ha. It took a lot of effort to keep them unbroken on the rest of our travels.<br />

We left Chipping Campden and headed back to our hotel in Stow. I consulted my trusty Rick Steves' book to find us a place to eat for dinner. It suggested a fish restaurant and an Indian restaurant. We decided on the Indian place, and walked down the road to it.<br />
<br />
I got probably the biggest shock of my life ever when I stepped inside and looked across the restaurant to see my best friend from growing up, Camie, and her husband John eating dinner together at a table! I seriously did a double take and then squeezed Chris's arm. I couldn't even verbalize to him what I was seeing, ha ha. I walked right over to them and gave her a huge hug. Needless to say, they were also in shock to see us there!<br />

We ended up joining them for dinner and catching up. It turns out that Camie and John were there for the week, hunting. Many of the manor owners in the Cotswolds will allow tourists to pay to hunt the game on their land, so that's what they'd been doing. They were staying in a different hotel in town, and were also using the Rick Steves' guidebook to get around, which is how we ended up at the same Indian restaurant for dinner.<br />
<br />
Can you imagine? We live three miles apart at home, and we ran into each other halfway around the world, literally in the middle of nowhere, in an Indian Restaurant no less. It was just so bizarre! And so fun to catch up.<br />

Blenheim Palace was built in the early 1700's by the Duke of Marlborough, and has been passed down to each next Duke of Marlborough through the years. Currently the 12th Duke of Marlborough still lives there. Sir Winston Churchill was also born here. </div>

Looking from the front steps out towards the Column of Victory, waaaaay out in the distance. The grounds of the place are just HUGE, and they were actually our favorite part. Wait til you see the gardens in back.<br />

The interior of the palace is not nearly as fancy as Versailles (I'm not sure anything will ever rival it), but it was HUGE. I really loved the library. <br />

Unfortunately, there was a modern art exhibit happening during our visit, and each room had this huge modern monstrosity in the center. I just was not a fan, and I thought it ruined a lot of the enjoyment for me. For example, one room had two GIANT piles of laundry in the center of the floor. One pile was all whites, one was colored clothing. And that was it. Huge piles of laundry in the center of the state room. REALLY? It just wasn't my thing, so I didn't take very many pictures inside.<br />

Chris and I traveled to England this year to celebrate our ten year anniversary. TEN YEARS! We always try to take a trip with just the two of us in between each baby that comes, and celebrating our anniversary with it sounded like a great idea.<br />

We took the direct flight from Salt Lake to London Heathrow and it was glorious! The plane also had tons of empty seats so we each stretched out on a side row to ourselves and watched movies until we landed.<br />

While waiting in line to pass through customs, we creeped on Donny Osmond, who had been on our plane.</div>
<br />
Then we rented a car and drove two hours straight to Bath. Chris was a rockstar, driving a stickshift with the wrong hand on the wrong side of the road. He had done it before on his mission in New Zealand, but still! It was a little stressful, and we both had to be on high alert as we drove.<br />

When we got to Bath, it took us forever to get to our hotel because of the River Avon that cuts through the city. The bridge we needed to cross to get to our hotel was closed for construction, so we had to find our way around it. The traffic in the city center is maddening! And of course that's right where our hotel was, because I'm all about location. Finally we found our hotel, checked in, got our car into some long term parking, and booked it over to the Roman Baths with like an hour and a half before closing. Phew! And I'm so glad we made it, because they were uh-mazing.<br />

The baths were built in Roman times on a natural hot spring that occurs there (one of the few in Europe). The waters were believed to bring healing and fertility to all who visited them. They've found artifacts, jewelry, and coins in the sediment under the water that lead them to believe travelers came from all over the world to soak in these waters.<br />

Inside the museum were pieces of curses and prayers that had been written on sheets of metal and tossed into the waters like a wishing well in ancient times. Some of them were to punish people who had wronged them, some of them were asking the Gods for things. I thought it was fascinating.<br />

On our way out they let us take a cup and taste the water. It had a strong metal (iron?) taste. Hopefully it brings us health & fertility. Ha!<br />

My Rick Steves' guide told me that 90% of the buildings in the city of Bath are on the historic registry, so it's almost impossible to build anything new in the city, you have to remodel according to code, which is very expensive. All the buildings are built from the same light, creamy limestone, and it's lovely.<br />

That glass building down the way is the Thermae Bath Spa. Here you can actually soak in waters heated by the natural underground spring. But it cost like $50 bucks for two hours, and Chris and I decided that we'd rather see the city since we only had one night to spend there.<br />

We found a good fish & chips joint and of course had to make it our first meal in England. The exchange rate was so good to us while we were there, everything cost about the same it does here or less. It was fantastic!<br />

It started to rain as it got dark while we were exploring the city, but we had planned for rain so we busted out the raincoats and carried on. And as it turns out, we got super lucky and this was the only day we got rained on!<br />

We walked by the Jane Austen Center. She lived in Bath for part of her life and they have a little museum dedicated to her here. Unfortunately it was closed, but I had to get a pic.<br />

We also walked up to the Royal Crescent and Circus and the Assembly Rooms, but it was dark so we didn't take any pictures. But we really enjoyed the lovely architecture. It almost reminded me a little bit of Paris, with all the uniform buildings of the same height and architecture. It was lovely.<br />

Finally we headed back to our hotel. We stayed at the Henry Guest House in Bath. It had a great location right near the Abbey and the Roman Baths. Our room and bathroom were tiny, and our bed was only a double, but we were so tired after traveling that we slept like logs and didn't even notice.<br />

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18 <br />
<br />
The next morning we ate an English breakfast at our hotel -- our first one! Eggs, sausages, bacon and beans. Then we checked out, put our bags in the trunk and walked down the road to take a look at the first Rugby Pitch in England which is located in Bath.<br />
<br />
We also crossed the River Avon, which was lovely, and winds all the way up the country to Shakespeare's birthplace which we visited later.<br />

Then we hopped in our car and took a detour past one of the earliest LDS chapels in Bath. It was in a residential area with the tiniest, skinniest one-way streets. To get there we drove on the skinniest street of the entire trip, it stressed me out, ha ha!<br />

Stonehenge really is out in the middle of nowhere! There are no big cities nearby, it's just rolling green fields and then, BAM. This is what the museum part looks like.<br />

Inside the museum they give you lots of good information and overviews of the history, the different types of stones, the formation, etc. They don't know exactly what stonehenge was used for, but they do know it was a solar calendar and could predict summer and winter solstices. They also have evidence of travelers coming here to visit from all across other continents, as well as huge burial mounds nearby.<br />

This was our first view of Stonehenge. The clouds couldn't have been more beautiful that day. I had an audio guide on my phone so we plugged in our headphones and walked the path all the way around it. The end of the pathway gets you up much closer to the stones.<br />

I've heard a lot of people say they were surprised at how small Stonehenge is. Maybe because of that, I was expecting something quite small, and I ended up surprised at how large it was, ha ha. The stones are quite massive, and it baffles my mind at how many of them are still standing after all this time! Scientists believe Stonehenge was built between 3000 and 2000 BC. Can you imagine!?<br />

Scientists still don't know exactly how the stones were hoisted up into place without modern tools, or exactly how the stones were moved here from a quarry more than 20 miles away. Fascinating.<br />

Here's our closest shot of the stones. They don't let you walk in between them any more because it was causing erosion of the soil and vandalism of the stones was occurring. But I felt like this was close enough for me.<br />

If you turn around while you're looking at Stonehenge, you can look down the valley and see huge burial mounds in the distance. There are several hundred burial mounds surrounding Stonehenge. Bizarre!</div>

We hit the Stonehenge gift shop on our way out, which was ENORMOUS. I could have spent all day in there. I wish I'd had more luggage space! But we did buy a visitors guide book that was really cool. <br />
<br />
After we visited Stonehenge, we drove about an hour north to Avebury, which is another stone circle like Stonehenge, but with a larger diameter, and you're allowed to walk right up to the stones! It's actually the large stone circle in all of Europe. A village was actually built right through part of the circle. When they started digging the foundation for a building, they realized they were digging into the burial mound that completely surrounds this whole stone circle, so they stopped and made a museum from the artifacts they found.<br />

We had to walk through a gate into a pasture, essentially, with sheep
walking all around, to get to the Avebury stone circle. Isn't it
beautiful? In this picture you can see the circle and then off to the

The individual stones were much smaller than that of stonehenge, and there were no remaining lintels, but more of the outer perimeter of stones remains at Avebury. The perimeter of the stone circle was quite large, probably close to a mile around, and we were able to walk the whole thing. (The diameter is over 1000 feet.) Most of it was on private pastured land, but the signs on the gate indicated we were welcome to enter as long as we remembered to close the gate and not let the animals out, ha!<br />

At one point there were other visitors walking around with us, and one of them climbed up on top of this big rock below. I think it's wonderful that this attraction is free and open to the public, but good grief, could we please preserve it for future generations to see?
