We have been spending most weekends in the local area, but did get out to Oxford and the Cotswolds via car a couple of weeks ago. The history and architecture was incredible, though with the twins we didn’t see too much of it. (There is a nice playground in Oxford though!)
I recently had the opportunity to go to London to see Coldplay at Wembley Stadium with a couple of our friends who teach with Meade. (Meade generously stayed at home with the kids). It was an awesome show, full of energy and creativity, I loved it.
This past Saturday, we went to the horses races/beer garden festival in Ascot, a nearby town, with the kids and some friends. It was not what I was expecting. It turns out that this is one of the biggest horse races in the country. And the people were dressed for it! Fancy hats and high heels, they were out in their best (and us in our jeans of course). The kids chose the horses, and we did not win, but it was fun for all.
I really think we need to invest in hats and do Ascot again. :)
