Hello from England! Well, we decided to buy internet again tonight so I can post some more pictures of our fun times. On Monday we went on a day trip through a tour company where we took a bus to Salisbury to see the Magna Carta at the Salisbury Cathedral. The cathedral was built in the 1200s and has very beautiful architecture and stained glass windows. The Magna Carta was very interesting for Dave to view as it is a very key document in American legal history.
This is a medieval clock that was made in 1386. It is the oldest working clock on earth and still keeps great time.

Beautiful cathedral
I liked these flowers
After Salisbury we went to Stonehenge and got a great look at the huge mysterious stones that have prehistoric history. It is believed that they have been there since 3000 B.C.! We happened to visit during the 3 day Summer Solstice and saw the crazy "druids" that gather during the solstice for who knows what!
Many theories out there about why these stones are here, the one I believe is that it was a solar and lunar calendar.
Wierd druids....
After Stonehenge we traveled to Bath. Bath is an old English city that includes the historic Roman baths built by the Romans when they discovered hot springs over 2000 years ago. Lots of history here! After we returned home we walked around our hotel area and found a restaurante to eat dinner. It was another BRILLIANT day!

City center of Bath, it was such a cute, quaint city.

Anne and I sat together so the "Men" (boys) could play a golf game on Cameron's iphone.

McKay said that he wishes that his mom could be home right now, and dad too. Today McKay got chased by dogs! AH! He freaked out. But he is ok now. And McKay said that he is having a great time! Hallie says that he misses you too. Breanna says that she can do her backflip on the ground and that she misses you both. She also says that she almost got cut by Saxton. (Presli's bro.) She went to her house and Saxton had a knife and almost cut her. He cut Presli and she had blood dripping! EW! It was FREAKY! Looks like you are having fun! Can Breanna shave?
