I can't even begin to describe my experience in England. I just keep saying the same words over and over. . . 'AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, and BREATHTAKING'. It was the best vacation I've ever taken by far. And believe it or not 2 weeks was simply not enough time!!

We stayed with Gene's Mum's sister, Auntie Gwen and her husband Den in Haverhill, a village just east of London. Took the bus, train and tube where ever we could go. Spent a few days in London seeing all the sights, went to Cambridge a couple of days, traveled to the nearby villages admiring the landscape and took a tour bus to Stonehenge, Windsor Castle (where the Queen lives) and the Roman Baths. Just simply amazing! I had to narrow down the number of pictures I took on the trip (only 550!!) to post on the blog. Enjoy!
