Hello dear friends! I arrived in Chicago Tuesday afternoon and drove home Wednesday afternoon. I have been back in Cincinnati for a few days, resting, recuperating, and trying valiantly to defeat jet lag.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in England and was grateful for the mostly sunny weather, the friends made, and the chance to see some truly incredible sights. I appreciate you, readers, for following me on my journey!
I thought I might owe you a follow-up post to end my trip, however. So here are some photos that fell by the way-side during my travels, mostly because I didn't have the time to put them up or because the wifi was so spotty, I couldn't. They are in (mainly) chronological order. Enjoy.
