Today was a really long day. We did so much in one afternoon. The first place that we went to was Stonehenge. It was interesting...but kinda boring just looking at rocks and not being able to go up to them.
Our next stop was Bath. It has always been a dream of mine to go to Bath. We went to the Roman Baths and learned about them. It was really neat to learn about the importance of these baths and how they were used not only for physical needs but more so for spiritual.
My favorite part of the day was going to the Jane Austen Centre in Bath. I have been dying to go there ever since I first became an Austen fanatic! I was so giddy in the shop. I was so happy to be there and wanted to buy everything.
This is a picture of Jane Austen's house in Bath where she lived out her days. I was so glad that I got a photo because we drove by it so quickly.
After Bath we went to Stourhead. It was this amazing place with the beautiful gardens. It was actually where the most recent Pride and Prejudice was filmed. The bridge in the picture is the one that Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) runs across in the rain.
The gardens were so gorgeous!
This is the platform where Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy meet up in the rain and he proposes the first time. This is me and my friend Kylee Knoles looking afar off for our Mr. Darcy to come.
