Last week my parents came to visit--what fun! We had a great time and each day was filled to the brim with activities.
Mom and Daddy arrived to London on Friday morning and I picked them up from the airport and took them to Woking where we live. After getting settled in and resting for a while, we then walked down to the town center and I showed them the highlights of Woking. On Saturday, we spent the day in London and they got to see all of the sights that the city is famous for (Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye, London Bridge, etc). On Sunday, we drove up to Wiltshire and visited Stonehenge, which was really neat (pictures at the end of this post). We also took them to Guildford, which is about 10 minutes from where we live, to show them where we go to shop and hang out. On Monday, Mommy decided that she wanted to stay in, so Daddy and I headed back to London to visit the Royal Observatory. Daddy really enjoyed going to the planetarium and getting to stand on the Prime Meridian while we were at the Observatory. We also happened to find a pedestrian tunnel that goes under the Thames River, so we went down and walked through the tunnel. Tuesday morning they flew back home. It was nice to have them visit and hopefully they will come again!

Yay! You're opening up all of our worlds. What's Stonehenge all about?
WUWYGs!
Stonehenge is an ancient monument believed to be connected with a sun cult or used for astronomical observations. Cremation burials may have taken place there also.
Some folks say aliens (from outer space) built it :-).
We really enjoyed our time with Victor and Lydia. Looking forward to going back next year.
Daddy
