Big stones
It's not every day you get a call from your husband on a Friday who says, "Hey, lets go to Stonehenge tomorrow!" Of course without hesitation I said yes. On paper the plan seemed like a no brainer- only 1.5 hours away, we'll pack a lunch, see Stonehenge and then we head home. Our plans tend to take fun little twists and turns. So, in true form, this one did too. It ended up taking us 3 hours instead of 1.5. We did not anticipate traffic or a two lane road going down to one. Yes, only one road to Stonehenge. We have no idea where everyone was going because Stonehenge itself was not crowded. Who knows. We did make it there and it certainly was a site to see. The boys seemed to have a good time even though they couldn't climb on the rocks. They did however enjoy listening to the audio tour. Unbeknownst to us, they were apparently learning about how one of the stones was used as a slaughter stone for sacrifices. Lovely. We rock as parents.

Boys, you are quite the tourists! Auntie Rainelle did not see Stonehenge until I was 20. I love that you could just "get up and go to Stonehenge" for the day! I am thrilled that you are having such adventures and exposing Oliver and Henry to such incredible history and culture! (not so thrilled about the slaughtering part though) xo
ReplyDeleteLooks the same as it did when I was there about 15 years ago. Geez, they should really think about sprucing up the place a bit.
