On October 14th I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Stonehenge, Stourhead and Bath. This day was awesome! We got up around 6:30 AM to pack our lunch and get out the door by 7:30. I slept the entire way to Stonehenge of course so I missed seeing it from a distance but seeing it up close was better anyways. Stonehenge was smaller then I was expecting but I was not disappointed. It was still incredible seeing something that I have heard and learned about my whole life. I feel so incredibly lucky to say I have been to Stonehenge. I think one of the coolest things about Stonehenge is the fact the no one knows why those stones are there, it is mystery and that is what makes it so awesome. Next is Stourhead. I was a little sad when we got to Stourhead because the place where they filmed Pride and Prejudice was closed for Construction. However, even though that place was closed everything else was incredible. It is just crazy to know that someone actually lived there. While being there I realized that no body would ever make such an incredible landscape in today’s world. I think we are so lucky that Stourhead is still there and most of the original landscape is still intact because I feel like you could never find anything as beautiful as the original handcraft landscape they spent the time creating back then. The last place we visited was Bath. Bath was a lot more fun then I was expecting. I thought that Bath Abbey was in the middle of nowhere but it was placed right in the center of town. We took a tour through Bath Abbey and spent the rest of the time wandering around the streets. Sometimes going on tours stresses me out because they either talk to fast or while they are talking there is also a lot that we need to read so through half of the Abbey I mostly just enjoyed the scenery. My favorite part about Bath is that I felt safe walking around all by myself. I had a few hours to just wander around and see what Bath was like. It was a cute little town with a lot of shops and places to eat and just sit down and relax. I would love to go back to Bath someday and spend a few more days enjoying the city. Overall, this day trip was amazing and I am so happy I was a part of it.
