The Lemons visit Oxford

Last weekend, Amy and Cheryl visited Oxford as part of their exciting whirlwind tour of the UK and Ireland. Now that they both live in NYC, we usually only see each other at Christmas time when the "Chaotic Lemons" return home to Orange County for the holidays. It was great catching up with them Saturday and Sunday and meeting Amy's cousin Paul who is also a graduate of Oxford.
Tea time! "Enjoying" the English weather and taking a break between the Oxford botanical gardens and the Oxford natural history museum (sadly the Pitt Rivers museum is closed for renovation until 2009).

Half pints at The Bear.
Also on the evening's agenda:
A brief stop at Eagle and Child, gin rummy at the Turf Tavern, and scrabble at the Royal Oak.

What's a visit to Oxford without a view of the "dreaming spires?"

YAY!!!! Thank you so much again. I'm going to post my trip but trying to organize 4Gig worth of photos makes my head hurt a little. One blog entry at a time, eh? It was so lovely to see you and your slightly creepy apartment. I had an wonderful time.
