Bath

Well, Grandma has now gone back to the States. I wanted to put posts up each day about where we have been, but by the time we got home - we were all too tired!!!

So, over the next few days I will catch up with pictures of Bath, London and a few other places.

One of Gary's Mom's goals during her visit was to ride a double decker bus. We were able to meet that goal as soon as we arrived in Bath as we parked outside of the city and got on a double decker bus to take us into Bath.

The weather wasn't too great, a little cool and light rain, but it could have been worse - after all we do live in England.


One of the most beautiful sights to see in Bath is the Abbey which was founded in the 7th century and rebuilt in the 16th century. The details in the architecture are absolutely incredible.

The organ pipes were very impressive.



Bath is built in a hilly area so the easiest and quickest way to tour the city is by a bus tour. We all enjoyed this as we listened to the history of the city while seeing the important landmarks - the easy way!!

Michelle,

When I went to England with my choir, we sang at Bath Abbey!!! I got to play the beautiful piano in there! We have many similar pictures from that place! I really enjoyed looking at yours and remembering that wonderful (short) period of my life.....how awesome that your kids have already gotten to experience it! Thanks for the updates :) Tell everyone hi!
