Christmas time in Nashville

I have visited Nashville twice when it was decked out for the holidays. While you may not think of "Music City" as a holiday destination, I am here to tell you that you need to rethink that.

Pictures from the aquarium at Woods Hole

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we drove to Woods Hole to take Jack to the aquarium. They have some of the strangest fish we have ever seen. 

Photo tour of Glastonbury Abbey

Glastonbury Abbey has the aura of the Arthurian legend hanging over it. What may be his and Guinevere's possible grave was found in the ruins of the Abbey. It is a hauntingly lovely place and I highly recommend a visit if you ever get the chance. 

A photo tour of Wells Cathedral

Wells Cathedral is called the "most poetic English Cathedral". It is the earliest Gothic Cathedral in England. We visited here on a rainy day in January but you can see how light and airy the church looks. It was built over three years from the 12-15th century.
