5.5 Days in England (Road Trip 2)
September 20, 2013
Last day in England! This day, we ventured to Shakespeare’s Birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon and visited the Roman Baths in Bath.
Shakespeare’s Birthplace offers a tour of the house he grew up in.
Look at this cute little cot where baby Shakespeare slept (or not).
The highlight for me was the courtyard performances of Shakespearean actors upon request.
I could have sat there all day listening to them. But, I did not want to miss the Avon River Boat Tour.
From Stratford-upon-Avon, we drove to Bath to see the highly popular Roman Baths which was constructed in honor of the goddess Sulis Minerva.
Preservation of this popular attraction reportedly cost £7M.
Based on the over a million visitors that come to see it each year, the expense is all worth it.

The State House: Augusta, Maine
October 18, 2013
Our revisits continue with the goal of having hubby’s The Capitol Collection booklet stamped. I had forgotten the charm of Maine’s State House. It sits on a hill which makes it quite imposing.
There is a simplicity to it that draws the eyes towards the exhibits without the distraction that sometimes elaborate architecture brings.

The Diner Experience
I’m glad we took the time to experience dining at The Red Arrow.

Where did we go? First stop was Stonehenge! I have always wanted to see this structure.
Next stop, Salisbury Cathedral!
