These folks!
My parents just left this morning from a ten day visit. It was too wonderful for words to have them here. They are always so enthusiastic about everything, so it was really fun to show them around Oxford. Even things that have begun to seem regular and mundane to us were so exciting from their perspective. I'm afraid that the trip wasn't entirely as relaxing for my overworked dad as I had hoped, but he sure did see a lot. We went to Stonehenge, met Scooter as he came out of his last exam (which he did very well on - thanks for your prayers), went punting, ate dinner in hall, had a private tour of Christ Church college with afternoon tea at High Table, went to the village of Doxey, took a four day trip to Croatia, went to Wimbledon, went to show in London, had a picnic in the Buckingham Palace park, saw a lot of Oxford, ate in a historic pub, and bought plenty of Oxford paraphernalia. The best part of our trip was just being together talking and laughing. I miss them already even though I will see them again in a few weeks when we move back home. Thanks so much for coming mom and dad!
