day trip catch-up part 1

alright i admit it, i've been horrible at posting this week and i'm reaping the reward this sunday afternoon...i think i've posted 5 or 6 times today so far, ugh.
ok, here's from wednesday the 19th:
Stratford Upon Avon & Oxford (aka Hogwarts)

Stratford was full to the brim with Shakespeare, but I preferred the river Avon to the poet's birthplace personally:

i mean wouldn't you?

then to Anne Hathoway's cottage, Shakespeare's wife, not Princess Diaries

Now OXFORD

 boys playing cricket

talk about some serious grass stains on those white uniforms 

does this look familiar to anyone else...?

s

say hello to the Great Hall of Hogwarts conveniently located at Oxford

so we just thought we'd have a spot of tea and cake while we were there.
no big deal.
life is wonderful.
