Stonehenge and Bath

Stonehenge and Bath
On Saturday we went on a bus tour to Stonehenge and Bath. At Stonehenge we were given handheld commentary devices. It was interesting to listen things about Stonehenge. Kids could listen to interesting and sometimes gruesome fun facts.

While we were eating the chef came out and when we were done he gave us some yummy cake.
Dessert!

Delicious!

Yummy!


We did a dollhouse thing where you can look at several old dollhouses but we couldn't take pictures there so we have no pictures of the dollhouses.
