UK continued


Instead of expectant mother parking they have parent & toddler parking.  This is genius.  Don't get me wrong I enjoy the expectant mother parking, however, the pregnant part is the easier part.  When its zero degrees out, windy, and I have to lug around Minka while attempting to wrap up and carry the newborn with the diaper bag and keeping us all together in the parking lot - I would trade in the expectant mother parking any day.
 Beautiful old buildings 
 In my room at the bed and breakfast the chandelier was gorgeous
 At the cider museum in Hereford they displayed oak vats that were used to ferment the apple juice for some tasty cider.
 Fish and chips the size of my leg
 At a cider plant we saw how they make cider and perry (cider made from pears)
 Apple orchard
 At this particular cider factory they still use oak vats today.  They are the only local cider factory still use real oak vats.  Thousands of gallons filled these giant vats.

 Traveling through Wales
 We adventured into some caves that told stories of the young boys who used to mine in the giant cave.

Symonds Yat is a village in the Forest of Dean and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye and the borders of the English counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, it is within a few miles of the Welsh border.  (Source: Wikipedia)


Goodrich Castle was also on the way. 
 In Hereford, I went for a walk one morning to the Cathedral.
 The Wye river bridge in Hereford.
