On this trip to England we are visiting many educational places like Avebury, Hadrian's Wall, and the Tower of London. Then there are the cathedrals, castles, museums and literary sites like Shakespeare's birthplace.
On Saturday, however, we took a few hours to explore the filming locations for a favorite children's movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We saw the windmill house, the village the family drove through in the car, and the duck pond Truly Scrumptious drove into repeatedly. A few photos for you:

Shortly after we get back we'll be headed to Ocean Park, Me for CYC. I highly recommend this two-week discipleship conference for all high school teens. Check it out here: Christian Youth Conference at Ocean Park.
One of my all time favorites! Thank you so much for sharing. I love that you did a tour of the filming sites. One of the tours I want to do when I am in England is the Jane Austen tour. She is probably my all time favorite author and I understand you can actually visit Mansfield Park.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to wait on Mansfield Park but we did see Jane Austen's writing desk and some samples of her penmanship. We read "Pride and Prejudice" as part of our preparation for this trip.
