A few months ago in September we took a trip and stopped at Stonehenge. We had heard mixed comments about it so we weren't really sure what to expect. Many have said it's much smaller then they imagined.
The thing that surprised us both, that you can't see in this picture, is that there is a highway right next to the beautiful field that Stonehenge in on.
Although Stonehenge is fairly small, it's still a pretty amazing thing to see. It dates back something like 5000BC and the stones actually came from Wales. The fact that people were able to move stones that size, that far of a distance is impressive to say the least.
Some of the stones were less intact than I realized. Even though it was a windy, cold day the sky was clear and perfect for pictures!

Love that wind in the hair!
Just the two of us....
This was the B and B we stayed in that night, before heading to Bath the next day. This is a really, really old wind mill converted into a home and B and B. I'm sorry I can't remember it's age, or when it was converted! I do know it was abandoned in the sixties, so the renovation is fairly recent. It was a pretty cool place- the bed was round, Hunter had a little cot to sleep on, and the bathroom was great! There was a few steps up into it, and there was this nice jacuzzi! Breakfast the next morning was a little awkward though... there were two other older couples, so no other kids. We ordered pancakes to be on the safe side, but they were strange and had a weird apricot sauce....not our thing but it's fun to try something new.
So despite what others say, I definitely think Stonehenge is worth seeing! If you get the chance-take it! Or you can come visit us and we'll take you :)
