Sunshine State of Mind: The Florida Keys
On a sunny Florida day, the Cranky Campers take a drive down the Florida Keys; stopping at beaches for swimming and snorkeling, with a drive down the iconic Seven Mile Bridge. Take me to Florida!
The Tower of London
This final post in our Great British Adventure series focuses on the Tower of London. Since it was built in the 1100s, the Tower has served many purposes: armoury, treasury, Royal Mint, housing for the Crown Jewels, and very famously a prison. This was an interesting and educational experience for the family and definitely a must-do on any London itinerary. Cheers!
Salisbury Cathedral and the Magna Carta
After visiting Stonehenge on our first full day in England, we drove to the historic city of Salisbury. We paid a visit to the medieval Salisbury Cathedral, a wonder in itself, which houses one of the last four original copies of the Magna Carta. This pivotal document, written in the early 1200s, formed the basis for our modern practices of due process, and has influences many governing documents in the centuries since.
