Cotswolds in a Nutshell

COTSWOLDS IN A PICTURE:

*Yes, people actually live in houses with thatched roofs–it is too cute for words!

JACK IN A PICTURE:

*Love me some Jack:)

JOHN’S FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP: A visit to Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill. AP History failed me…I was not too familiar with this Churchill character (besides knowing that Charlie Hutchens resembles him!!) My dad once told me (in the nicest way), “Caroline, if people start talking about history, just smile”….its fair to say it is not my strongest suit. Confession: On the day before the AP History final exam–I might have asked–remind me who won the Civil War…

Beautiful, beautiful grounds

JACK’S FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP: Driving. He was so excited to finally get in one of these cars that he sees from his stroller:) As we are always taking 5 million different types of public transportation, we joke to Jack and say “in my country, I have 2 cars”…not too much longer and he will be getting very familiar with the good old automobile!

CAROLINE’S FAVORITE PART OF THE TRIP: Coming home to a phone call that Charlotte is engaged–woop woop! Soooo very excited!

*Check out that sparkler:)

We had a great weekend away–it really was so beautiful. John heads to the NFL game in London this weekend (along with every other American) and then we are off to Prague for a quick trip before heading home for Thanksgiving. 25 days until we get to be spoiled by Sussy’s (and Papa Jacks) cooking—can’t wait!
