Because Summer Is For Road Trips

Summers go by so fast for me. Keeping kids engaged and occupied is paramount. It can be exhausting because no matter how much energy I seem to have, they have more. Way.way.WAY.more. That's why I've begun strapping them in the car and hitting the roads. If there aren't pictures, there's no proof. So here they are...

 

Old Sarum in  Salisbury, Wiltshire

There was all kinds of Celtic Warrior fun at Old Sarum. They're always throwing some sort of special event. The ones in summer seem to be particularly kid friendly. There was leather making, battle tactics, and obvs no event is complete without a little face painting.

It's amazing how far down the road a bag of junk food snacks, can get a large family. Cue Cornwall:

 Hell's Mouth

 

Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, Cornwall

  

St. Michael's Mount

My apologies to the unwitting victims that landed in my photos below. It's no easy task to photograph this place. The Minack Theatre is just too amazing not to share though. 

The approach to the theatre.

The seating terraced out of the cliff face.

The beach below the theatre.

The Minack is a must see if you're in the Cornwall area. Pictures and words can't do it justice. And finally:

 Mission accomplished.
