Countryside Bliss

D and I have been wanting to spend a weekend in the Cotswolds since we've arrived in London.  What better time to experiment driving on the other side of the road than when his parents are visiting?
We'll tackle it together.  Eight eyes are better than two.  Three navigators and one driver.  We could do it!!!
So, we booked a room and rented a car and we were set.  We would leave the day after Thanksgiving.  No backing out due to unrealistic catastrophic car accident thoughts.
We left a little later on Friday than we would have hoped.  I got sick ... again.  Third time in two and a half months.  Pretty awful.
We stopped in Oxford for dinner and made it to the B&B just in time to cozy up and plan the next days adventures.
Saturday I was raring to go.  I was 100% and absolutely loving the fresh air, sprawling landscape, and time with family.
Sunday we ran into some trouble.  We pulled over to take a picture and as we got back onto the road we hit a (not so small) land marker.  The driver (who will remain nameless) thought it was a curb and decided it was best to continue over it.  A little tape-age of the bumper and we were back on the road...heading home.  What an eventful weekend.

                         

All in all, the trip was one for the books.  Can't wait to go back.
