We have arrived safely home from Bath City as of this Thursday evening and had a wonderful time. We chose not to bring an wifi devices so we would spend as much time as possible in the city and with each other rather than on our devices, but now that I am home even though we both took off all week to celebrate, I cannot resist blogging about our fun and beautiful trip. We did not take that many pictures because we wanted to enjoy ourselves a little and not be stopping at everything pretty to take a picture...even though I was tempted because Bath is an incredibly beautiful place. However, of the things I did snap photos of these are some of our favorite highlights of the journey.
 |
| Nova was so excited to go on vacation! This is a picture right in front of our house before we left. |
 |
| Standing outside our house getting ready to go. |
 |
| Trevor and Nova waiting for the train off of platform one. |
 |
| Waiting at Worcester Foregate Station just a short walk from home...we had to wait here for a while because Trevor was worried we would miss the train ;) What a silly train newby my husband is. |
 |
| The rail off of platform one. |
 |
| At Worcester Foregate Station waiting. |
 |
| Nova's first train ride! He really did remarkably well, he was a little anxious and barked at a couple of people he did not like, but other than that he slept and looked out the window. However the little monster did get into something skunky smelling while we were waiting at the train station so he smelled so bad the entire train ride. |
 |
| So we had to give him a bath right away when we got to the hotel. He likes to dry himself on the bed. |
 |
| We opened gifts right away on the 14th because Trevor get's impatient...lol. Look at my beautifully wrapped gift. |
 |
| My beautiful necklace Trevor bought me. It is pink sapphire and white gold...the picture doesn't do it justice but the pink sapphires are on a progression from a darker pink at the top to a lighter at the bottom. The stones match my wedding ring! |
 |
| Another picture of my necklace which is impossible to take pictures of. |
 |
| Trevor and one of his gifts a sweatshirt with a picture of a creeper from the video game called minecraft...he was pretty excited. Some random kids and english people were shouting at him telling him how cool he looked...my anniversary gift clearly brought Trevor's cool points up by at least ten thousand. |
 |
| Beautiful Architecture |
 |
| I thought the Thai balcony was really cool looking. |
 |
| This is the entrance outside of the Roman baths... |
 |
| Here is a close up of the detail. |
 |
| There were many really amazing street performers including this guy who was really funny and could juggle knives with an axe balancing on his head. We ended up leaving before he finished his performance because we were in a rush to see everything and the performer shouted at Trevor "the man with the dog, please come back!". |
 |
| This is the Bath Abbey Church...this building was unbelievably detailed. |
 |
| Bath Abbey Church again. |
 |
| A picture from the inside of the Roman baths...we did not get very good pictures because we could not get inside with the dog, but it was still beautiful. |
 |
| Trevor and I outside of the Roman baths. |
 |
| Beautiful details... |
 |
| Look at this amazing door to the Bath Abbey! |
 |
| The cop cars around here always make me laugh...you could never miss them coming against the dull colors of the english streets. |
 |
| The River below the Pulteney Bridge. |
 |
| The Pulteney Bridge...I took this awful crooked picture...sorry. Different shops are built into this bridge...such a cool idea. |
 |
| They had these cute signs to help us navigate all around town. |
 |
| This was probably one of my favorite sites to see...this is a garden maze. I have an affinity for mazes and have always wanted to go to one and this was my first! |
 |
| So naturally we had to go through the maze to see if we could make it to the middle. |
 |
| Trevor striking a pose..Nova and I followed him around in the maze...Nova was really confused throughout and did not get why we were weaving around on the ground. |
 |
| We finally made it to the middle of the maze...notice the face of a man below our feet (or paws). |
 |
| A cute telephone booth....even though I would not use it because it is very littered on the inside. |
 |
| Another insane street performer...I was very worried for the slack rope walking violinist...he would purposely dangle on one foot at a time. |
 |
| My knight in shinning armor! |
 |
| Some Italian gelato...yum...I got the truffle and raspberry flavor. |
 |
| Trevor and I with our yummy gelato aka ice cream. |
 |
| The cake Trevor picked up for me...what a sweetheart! |
 |
| Me and my cake. |
 |
| Twenty fricking three years old...ugh...I am so old! :) |
 |
| Blowing out the candles, eating the cake, and heading home the next morning. |
We had a wonderful time in Bath and can't wait to start exploring the area more...finances willing since it isn't cheap! Trevor and I are still keeping the rest of the week low key and will be relaxing, but I just did not want to forget any detail of the trip so it would be well documented for us and all you readers out there. Thanks again everyone for all the wonderful well wishes over our anniversary and my birthday!
