We took our first weekend trip on October 10/24-10/26. We visited the historic town of Lincoln, UK with 5 other couples!
Saw this lil gem on the drive up...going to visit the Sherwood Forest when the boys come over...

| Went to a play called Masters of the House. A chorus of 4 sang the hits of musical theatre! It was fabulous! |
Lincoln was once all under water. The area is rich in agricultural industry. They built a huge hill to prevent the sea from moving back in on them. The road leading up the hill is appropriately named "Steep Hill"!
