Stonehenge

It turns out our GPS is slightly more stupid than I am . . .

What should have been a 4.5 hour trip turned into closer to 8. The GPS thinks that since some roads have a maximum speed rating of 60 mph that one should be able to drive that speed. On steep, curvy, twisting, (and iced over for the curious out there) narrow roads. The stupid part is that I actually believed it ; )

Short pre-amble, for what I really mean is that we had another long day of travel today. For the most part the kids did good, but no matter how you look at it, 7-8 hours of travel without a DVD is a loooong time for kids to behave. At lunch we decided to try to see Stonehenge today. What should have been a two hour drive crazily became closer to three.

And for the interested out there, Stonehenge closes at 4 pm. We got there and paid for our tickets literally at 3:50 pm. But we had the place to ourselves. Again, literally. The kind folks working there didn't try to rush us out either.

So while winter may not be the absolute best time to visit England and see the sights, you can't beat the (lack of) crowds! Cheers,
