Last Monday, when my parents were here, we visited a place called Fountains Abbey. The Abbey is Britain's largest monastic ruin, and was founded in 1132 by 13 Benedictine monks.
I actually visited Fountains Abbey when I came to Harrogate during high school. What's incredible is that now, the Abbey is less than a 15 minute drive from my house. When we were there last week, I bought a yearly membership for our family so we can go there whenever we want.Here are some of the pictures I took when I was there with my mom and dad, and a few more from when I went back with Ethan and the kids this past weekend. I wish I could blog more about what all of these pictures are of. I need to go back one day on my own and do a tour to learn more.

Ms. Silly Bird--I know, I know! I could just be that we grew up with the computer, so that form of communicating is more normal! But you're super busy with the KIDDIES too. And--I also figure, AT LEAST I am communicating with my blog. It's a step in the right direction! And I do keep in way better touch now SINCE starting the blog. And everyone DOES read them :) Hugs :) xoxox.
