Charlie's been with us for about a month now and we were all up at the crack of dawn to see him off today. He's heading back to the US for more adventures!
This past weekend, we took a day trip to Bath so he could check out the spa town and its elegant architecture. My British friend and colleague Jo had never been to Bath, so we invited her along.
Upon on easy arrival into Bath via the train, we started with a lovely stroll up to the Royal Crescent, and a tour of the posh No. 1 flat. The flat is now a heritage museum, showcasing all the relevant furniture and decor corresponding to the time period of the late 1700s.
Then to find lunch - landing in the Jane Austen museum tea room. Jo and I very much liked the "ladies lunching" tea room, and Charlie was a good sport. As he really was the only bloke in there for most of the time, sipping his Jane Austen blend tea! 
We thought we should reciprocate then, and have 1/2 pint at the pub so he could catch a bit of the England vs Australia rugby match. Who knew rugby and American football are fairly similar?!
Next, a visit along the river heading towards the Bath Abbey and then the highlight Roman Baths. I've been in there about 4 times now, so I shopped a bit while Charlie and Jo checked it out. One more stroll around the river, a quick sandwich and off we headed back to Oxford!
