Got up around 6AM, Gareth was waiting in the kitchen. We got the dog and drove to a large wooded park. We walked for a couple miles. His dog is very active and loves the woods! He’s a mid-size dog, not sure what breed a mix collie and spaniel. I took the camera and got a few nice pictures. When we got back, everyone was just waking up. Gareth cooked breakfast, then I hit the shower and updated the journals. Finally got on the Internet, checked for messages and sent Tracy an email. After the kids left for school, Suzy, Gareth and I jumped in the car and headed to Oxford. What a beautiful day in was today! No clouds in the morning, a perfect day to visit Oxford. We walked around the town, Gareth and Suzy were great tour guides since they both went to school here. I took many pictures, they were very patient and knew were to go for great shots. We stopped at The Turf Tavern for a few pints. A famous pub in the middle of town. A great selection of hand pumps. After that we hit a few shops then ended up picking up sandwiches and cookies from a bakery. We walk to a nice park where there where people rented gondolas, like the ones in Venice. We sat on the bank and had lunch whilst watching the gondolas go by. . We headed back around 2PM. Tracy had been texting me as soon as she got up. There were severe thunderstorms last night in Philly. 200,000 homes without power. 75MPH winds. Our chat continued until she left for the dentist. That was about the time we went to dinner. We went to a nice pub with a large dog friendly outdoor eating area. Afterwards we headed back. Gareth opened a vintage bottle of Riesling. We sat in the backyard and enjoyed the evening.
