Keira Knightley aint got nothin on me!

My life just keeps getting better and better. Our day trip on last Wednesday was amazing. I don't think I've ever been that giddy before :)

Our first tour was of some ruins at Glastonbury and we hiked the Tor to get an amazing view.

Then came the fun stuff.... We went to Stourhead. I have never been so excited to get off the coach before. I was walking around the gardens, admiring the beauty of it all then I turned a corner and BAM!!!!!! This is what I saw.


For those losers who don't know this bridge, it is the bridge the Keira Knightley runs across in Pride and Prejudice, which just so happens to be my favorite movie! After taking loads of pictures with the bridge I continued through the park and BAM!




What do I see? None other than the Temple of Apollo. This is where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth in P&P. Of coarse every girl wanted to get proposed to there so little Beno did the job. He's 15. I said yes! It was EPIC!!!




Our final stop of the day was in Bath. We had 2 hours to see the Roman Baths, get dinner, see the Pump Room, see the Assembly Rooms and walk around the town. I felt like I was stepping right into a Jane Austen novel. Bath is such a cute modernized 18th century town. We did not have nearly enough time there.

The healing waters in the Pump Room were delicious, as you can see from Sarryn's face. :)

Cheers
