Pictures from the UK


 Scottish Highland Cows... or Hairy Coos as they are called in the UK. They are so cute. Jer couldn't touch them or he wouldn't be allowed near American cattle for 2 weeks. Sad...
 The UK was a very festive place to be... what with the Royal wedding and all!
Me eating the yummiest hot chocolate ever at the Elephant House in Scotland where JK Rowling wrote much of the first Harry Potter book.

 At Edinburgh Castle in Scotland.
 Usborne Trip Earners
 Me and Jer with Randall and Carol White outside Westminster Abbey. Randall is the CEO.
 Changing of the Horse Guard at Buckingham Palace
 Buckingham Palace
 Outside the Tower of London
 Tower Bridge
 Westminster Abbey. We got there just in time for a nice leisurely tour before they closed for the Royal Wedding.
 Guard at the Tower of London outside where we keep the Crown Jewels. Cameras aren't allowed in the vault where they keep the jewels, but trust me they were spectacular. We saw the Hope Diamond which I believe is the largest diamond in the world.
 Stonehenge.
 This yellow crop was everywhere... it turns into Canola Oil.

 Shakespeare's Garden and House... well, the one he grew up in and inherited when his father died.
Big Ben.

What an awesome trip. I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous. ( I don't know if I'm more jealous that you got to go the the UK or just because you got to take a trip with no kids!) And, Jill, you look so cute in all of your pics. You're not supposed to look that cute while you're travelling!
