It's Very Old

England, that is.  It actually takes my breath away sometimes.  The fact that I'm living in a house built in the 1800's is just plain crazy and that is not even old! We've visited Ripley Castle that has 700 years of history and Fountains Abbey with 800 years of history.  This was really just a short intro for some pictures.  ;-)

Ripley Castle









Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal


What's more fun than the playground and Disney World?  Running around the ruins of an old Abbey, of course!




You can't actually see it, but there was a very mangled, dead bird off to the right. Gross.

I need a better picture of the water garden.  It's actually very cool.
