stonehenge

on our 5-year anniversary trip to england, we took a quick trip to stonehenge. I really never expected a bunch of rocks to be impressive. but there is something totally mysterious & intriguing about stonehenge. what is it? an astrological chart? a calendar? a sacred burial ground? and how'd those massive 30-ton stones get there? by glaciers? aliens (this one's my personal fave)? just the thought that it was built around 3,000 BC is totally incomprehensible. it was definitely worth the trip.

mount vernon

back in september I flew to nyc to visit my good friend kristin. from there, we took the bus down to washington dc to visit kristin's friend merrillee. merr was a wonderful host & took us to tons of cool places (which I will post about later). but one my favorite place we visited was mount vernon, the plantation home of george washington. learn more about the history of mount vernon here.
