Winter getaway anyone? Neither our vacation bank account at work, nor our actual bank had enough margin for us to head south for a week like all of the other cool kids, so we decided to have an alternate adventure. Where can you go for a few days that will give you lots of ad

The original plan for today was to take a train to Windsor and tour the castle. This would have been really neat because of course they are prepping for a little wedding in a few days aren’t they? But we woke up this morning, looked at each other and said “I’m too tired for a
Oh wow wow wow it was a good day. Yesterday was exhausting and we slept late followed by a late breakfast and chat with one of the B&B owners about WW II and the German occupied but English owned Channel Islands. Next we strolled to visit the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace where all of
