Stone What?

Henge: "A usually circular enclosure comprising of one or more ditches and embankments. A number of entrances through the embankments and ditches usually occur but may number between one and four. Their purpose is not certain but it is thought that they have a ceremonial use of some sort." Apparently Stonehenge has 56 holes, but who's counting?

Stonehenge will apparently make you "gasp". The drive to visit the park certainly made me "gasp" (or at least it did the first day we tried to get there), but Stonehenge? Not so much. It's neat and all, but the mystery was killed before we even got there when John told me that it had been re-created and that the stones were not found standing the way we see them today. It doesn't really matter though, because the day was beautiful and we got to see something that I had on my "to-do before I die" list with my two boys.

From Stonehenge we headed West to Wells. We were pleasantly surprised to find the town full of walking families. I wish I could have had the soft ice cream from the ice cream truck that we found behind the Bishop's Castle (which was closed but still spectacular). Instead we stopped in for a bite and pint at a local pub. I think it was a pretty good compromise. Along the way we discovered that Rowan prefers to ride facing outward in his stroller. He loves to see what is going on around him. He giggled the entire time we walked instead of fussing as he always does. He was bored! He also loves to be carried and goof around. He has this tendency to lean to the right and to stretch his head way back as we walk together. Who knows what he sees, but what ever it is, we love seeing it through him. As John says: "Rowan is amazing".
