As promised, here are more pictures! These are pretty self explanatory, but I will give you some background.
Of course going to Stone Henge is up there on the list of things to do in England, but going with Brad and his mom made it extra fun. When Brad was younger he did a report on the henge and since then has always found it a bit more fascinating. He was practically giddy with excitement.
We arrived after a 2 hour train ride to an itty bitty town, where we found one bus going to the henge. It happened to be a tour bus, which made the trip even better. It took about 30 minutes to get to the site and once we were there we were dropped off to navigate a gift ship, audio guide stand and a concessions area. Who knows how we managed! It was a bit chilly and windy but there was sun, so we weren't complaining.
The it was off to the stones. It is amazing how each step we took gave us a new and beautiful view of the ancient structure. This made it hard not to take 100 pictures. It also amazed us how from different areas around the henge it could go from looking like a humongous beast to looking like something you might find in a playground. Oh the wonders of nature!
We ended up staying at the site for about an hour, then we headed back to the town where we had a lovely lunch before taking the train back to London.
All in all it was a Wonderful day trip that I am so glad we took.
And here are some of he photos!

Me and the sheep! (they were all around the roped off area)
