To Bath and Beyond: How Do You Put On These Headphones?

Bath, is an amazing place...known for its beautiful scenes and most notably for the Roman Baths.

So, we went to Dyrham Park. Its a proper estate owned by the National Trust because its so expensive. The scenes are AMAZING and BREATHTAKING.

I have too many pictures. Also, Matt decided it would be a great idea to pick some flowers...apparently it is illegal to pick them because they are endangered...go him.

When we got to Bath, we toured the Roman Baths. So amazing to learn about how the civilization utilized every part of what was found...mainly the Hot Springs.

Then Saturday, Mark and Beth got us a bus tour instead of the boats. I loved this. Apparently Nicolas Cage lives in Bath...I have a picture of his supposed apartment.

Then we went to Victoria Park. It was amazing. So beautiful. The sun was out, so we did a little sun bathing.

Then we went to the playground portion. We got so many pictures of the playground. It was so jungle like. So many kids...so much playground stuff.

This place is beautiful and so peaceful. I want to live here.

The Hostel that we stayed in was pretty legit. Matt and I got a bunkbed that was obviously not made for people so damn tall. We were going to make a fort or seven....but our plans were ruined....fail fail not happy fail.

We then packed up and left to our next destination Lacock (lay-cock). It's known for its rich history....a traditional English village. Its also wealthy because of the wool industry.
It's also known for being used in the Harry Potter movies.
They were having a flower sale everywhere....I'm glad Spring is finally happening...I hope Iowa is gorgeous when I get back.
There was also a cute guy working in one of the craft shop. He was checking me out. He totally wanted me. So...yeah....um....grandma told me to not bring back a boy....but....I was so close....

We finally got back to London. I didn't really miss it. Someone decided that we were hatin' on London...but it was impossible to not....the weekend was gorgeous. It was perfect.

Bath = J'adore!
