Vacation to Southern England

For the Fourth of July holiday weekend, we travelled to the southern coast of England to see the sites on the other side of the island. On our first day, we went to the Bournemouth peer and beach. It was the first time we've been to the coast without rain. Luke didn't like the waves or the sand (it got in his mouth). Isaac loved every minute. Dad tried to build a sand castle, but the twin engines of destruction kept knocking over the walls and towers.


On day two, we visited Stonehenge. The clouds cooperated just enough to snap a few nice pictures. The boys were more impressed with the free guided-tour handsets that were handed to us and undoing the ropes that surround the site.


On our last day, we toured Stratford-upon-Avon and the birth place and childhood home of William Shakespeare. Dionne has always had an interest in literature and performed a scene from "Two Gentlemen of Verona" in her Shakespeare class once upon a time at BYU.
