Oxford and the English countryside.

Oxford: Amazing town full of historic halls of education and so many millions of tourists!  







The Swan: 18th century coaching inn turned modern day antiques treasure trove.  I got in trouble with Matt for seriously slow browsing, but honestly could have stayed all day.  Rooms and rooms full of interesting art, furniture, and trinkets.  
The Cotswolds: An ill timed detour on our route north to the wedding.  They looked gorgeous, but again, jam packed with tourists.  Having under estimated our driving time and still unsure of the pre-wedding dinner start time, we couldn't stop to explore.  
The Red Pump Inn: Our B&B the night before the wedding.  The sun was out and so were the sheep.  Breakfast of scrambled eggs, cress, and local smoked salmon.  Yum!  

Waddington: A little village near Clitheroe, which you arrive to on single lane roads and nearly die on the front grill of a barreling, speeding pair of tractors.
