A Day in Bath

Mentioned in many a Jane Austen novel, and famous on its own for its historic Roman Baths, the city of Bath in Somerset has much to do and see. In addition to the Roman Baths, we walked the Pulteney Bridge that spans the River Avon and, of course, we paid a visit to the Jane Austen Centre.

The Quad Cities of Iowa and Illinois

To celebrate the wedding of a good friend, we flew into the Quad Cities, an area straddling both Iowa and Illinois, in the Midwestern United States. The Quad Cities are made up of five ‘major’ cities: Moline, East Moline, and Rock Island in Illinois and Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa. There are interesting activities in each of the cities- from the John Deere Museum in Moline to Rich Island's arsenal and more.
