Eleven months later... We are mobile!
We got a car this week and took our first road trip today! We drove to Cambridge - anything to get out! Note to selves: there's not much to see before 10am on a Sunday but by noon, it's swamped! Students are up (looking rather bleary from Sat night), tourists are out, buildings are open and the market is up and running. We never thought it would be as chilly as it was! (Lots of ice on houses and cars!) Luckily, it was only a quick trip. Not much sightseeing today!
Cambridge is a gorgeous town/ city! We need to go back for more than a quick stroll and coffee and scones (anything to get out of the city!)! I played typical tourist and took tons of pics, much to Greg's chagrin!
Overall, the small trip was a success: Greg did a FANTASTIC job driving - thanks to his new girlfriend TomTom Jane (no relation to Tarzan). Gotta love her directions (fully equipped with the British accent)! There were no car incidents to report: No mirrors were taken off, no shrubs side-swiped (note this, U.Jim!), no little men nudged (note to you, A.Julie). It was a huge success! Next time it's Sara's turn to drive.... eeek!

Greg in the right-hand drive! (Driver's seat passenger = nail-biting seat!)
Sara and Julia on the bridge over the river with the punt (boat) rides. (Not sure what it's called.)
Julia playing.
One of the schools, or a cathedral???
It was all exhausting for the little man.
