    Back to school for Mommy and Poppy

    July 21, 2019 in England ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    So we had about two hours for a whirlwind tour of Cambridge and decided to show the kids some of our old haunts. First stop: Pembroke College, kicking it off with a reprise of one of Mommy and Poppy’s wedding photos, taken in the archway leading from the main courtyard. We toured the grounds a bit, and also the chapel where Mommy and Poppy were married. Next was a brief pause at Fitzbillies to sample their famous Chelsea buns, followed by a trot through King’s College Chapel. Good thing we told the kids in advance it was a place of worship and that we should be quiet inside - just as we opened the doors and were greeted by a cacaphony of multi-lingual tourist babble. Final stop: Trinity Hall, where we managed to fly through the chapel, check-out the grounds, locate a bathroom for the kids *and* get our afternoon punt rentals sorted - all in record time.Read more
