Cambridge


The sun decided to grace us with it's presence today. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder. Every time I see the sun my face lights up and a smile squeaks across my mouth. Since the weather was nice we decided to head to Cambridge and spend the day exploring some of the University's museums. Cambridge is one hopping city! We were lucky enough to get a parking spot and took to the streets. Our first stop was the Saturday Market which was wonderful! The market was much bigger than Ely's and happened to be located in the center of a great area with tons of restaurants, shops and GAP!!!!!!! Mike and Liam spotted the West Cornwall Pastry Company and their open windows full of hot pastries. Mike chose a steak and stilton pastry and he and Liam chowed.


Next, we headed to the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Science.




























And lastly we headed to the Anthropology and Archaeology Museum.

A Day in London

This week has been a nice change to our routine. My sister Megan arrived for a visit this past Tuesday and we have all enjoyed having her here. This was Meg's first visit overseas and we are looking forward to her coming back very soon!

Saturday was Megan and Liam's first visit to London. We drove to Epping Station and took The Tube into London. We had a great day.
