The Cotswolds

So we pretty much live in an area of England called the Cotswolds but I felt like we hadn't really seen the true "Cotswolds." So we drove around to the more touristy towns and I finally saw some thatched roof cottages! But it wasn't until the end of the day and the camera died! But here are some other pretty things in some beautiful villages.

Lower Slaughter

Mill at Lower Slaughter

Manor at Lower Slaughter

Huge Tree!

Stow-on-the-Wold and the Cornish Pasty! So so delicious

Market Square at Stow-on-the-Wold

Moreton-in-Marsh. A church in every town! Still pretty

Cool toy store- Lego man built out of Lego

Bourton on the Hill

Truman is loving it. We were searching for a gibbeting cage but never found it.

Bourton on the Hill still

Chipping Campden

Peek-a-boo Tru at another church

Walking through a sheep pasture to get to ...

Dover's Hill. The site of the annual Cotswold Olympicks which includes sports such as cheese-rolling and shin-kicking. 

Truman was a trooper on this trip getting in and out of the backpack at each place and didn't have any meltdowns until the very end. The sunshine is deceiving- it is actually super windy and cold and it's hard keeping that kid warm. The first place was our favorite- maybe because it was the first? It was all really beautiful though and we look forward to seeing more of it in the spring. And aren't the names so funny? It's an art of its own.
