The day started with breakfast again. Adam headed off to his last day at the conference. I stayed behind to pack everything up so that we were out of the room by 11:00. After everything was packed up, I purchased our tickets to see Wicked this week in London. Neither of us have seen it,… Continue reading Day 7 | Horses, Stairs, Oxford → London
Today started as a lazy day for me. Yay! Breakfast, then back to the room to contemplate what’s left in Oxford that I want to do. I ended up purchasing tickets for Adam and me for the “R-rated” (YES!) version of Love’s Labour’s Lost, a Shakespeare play we will be seeing when we are in… Continue reading Day 6 | The Bear, A Cemetery, and a Church
Today started with breakfast at the hotel…surprise, surprise. Photo alert: I went a little nuts again today. Adam and I got up early today, because it was probably the only time that he could go to the Tolkien exhibit at Weston Library (part of the Bodleian Library system) with me, working around his conference schedule.… Continue reading Day 5 | Museums, Libraries, Streets, and Food
Adam didn’t have to be at his conference until a little later this morning, so we got to sleep in! We started with breakfast at the hotel again.

We started the day by enjoying breakfast in the hotel restaurant. It was quite good! Upon ordering a macchiato, Adam was informed that they didn’t have those, but they had double espressos with foam on top. I was informed (being a non-coffee drinker) that this is, in fact, a macchiato. So it seems he got… Continue reading Day 3 | Christ Church, Tom Tower, and Oxford Town Hall
1:20 PM (England time) Our plane to Dulles was on time. We had a planned 6 hour layover. This turned into 8 hours, because we spent 2 in our plane seats on the tarmac waiting for weather to clear up so that we could fly out. In the end, we arrived in London at around… Continue reading Day 2 | Arrival in London → Oxford
01:40 PM (Dulles time…) We’re off to England! I’m currently sitting in the Dulles airport while Moody coaches me through setting up our new travel blog. I suppose this counts as sufficient procrastination…we only bought the web address 2 or 3 months ago. We had a 6 hour layover, so it seemed like a good… Continue reading Day 1 | Flying Out
