Today we went on a day trip to Glastonbury, Stourhead, and Bath. They were all really cool and beautiful places. First, in Glastonbury, we went to the ruins of an old Cathedral. When it was standing, it was longer than St. Peter's in Rome, and larger overall that St. Paul's in London!

This guy's face was so cute, I wanted to look just like him
After the ruins, we went to climb alllll the way up to the Glastonbury Tor. This was a what people call a "thin place." A thin place is somewhere where people believe the veil between heaven and earth to be particularly thin. The building is called the Tor. It is up on a big hill that gives a beautiful view of all of Glastonbury. It was quite the little trek up there, but it was worth it!
This is the flat 5 girls with the Tor!
I love this picture. What a beautiful view! And this doesn't even do it justice at all!
Niki and I making up after our first fight about Cadbury chocolate. Love that girl!
After leaving Glastonbury, we went to the Stourhead gardens. They were UNBELIEVABLE! Soo beautiful I can't explain. I could have spend an entire day there wandering around. They filmed the scene in Keira Knightly's Pride and Prejudice here where Darcy proposes for the first time. It was insanely pretty, and I want to go back so bad!

This is where they filmed the scene. It had a beautiful view of the lake below.
Oh, and there was an inn there too. Umm...who was in charge of choosing the name?
Then, to end the day we went to Bath. It was such a beautiful city. I will be going back with my mom for a day thank goodness! We went and saw the Abbey, but we couldn't go in because of a graduation. We also saw the Roman Baths there. They were way cool. When the Romans occupied this land they built some of their community baths, and they are still there. Very cool!
