Kentucky Derby in England!
To celebrate May Day this year (or the Kentucky Derby depending on what part of the world you are from 😉 ), Erik, Anna, Jeremy, Kathleen, John and I went south to one of the highest rated beaches in England: Bournemouth and the nearby Jurassic Coast.
We rented a car and left London on Friday night, headed for the coast!
A frigid ride on the swings
We stayed in Poole and on our first day visited a town called Bournemouth, voted one of the best beaches in England. It had a carnival, beach town like atmosphere reminding John and me of Myrtle Beach. A very chilly Myrtle Beach.
Delicious Funfetti Cake!
That night, we gathered in our toasty flat and enjoyed some American foods brought across the pond by special request: Velveeta and Rotel (queso) and Funfetti cake!
The next morning, we took off to explore the beautiful Jurassic Coast.

Then, we did a bit of climbing to get the most amazing views!
Making our way to the top!
Totally ignoring the “Do not go beyond this point” sign.
After this hike, we took a little break for lunch, then headed for Durdle Door.

The next day, on the way back to London, we took a little side trip to Stonehenge. Not a bad hour-long stop. Plus–who knows how it got there?!? 😉

Such a fun trip!
After Stonehenge, we headed back to London. What a wonderful holiday with friends–even it was freezing at the beach!
