weekend in oxford

buying chocolates in the covered market

hotel room fun


hotel postcard

we had a nice little weekend away in oxford while kevin attended a conference. kinda. maybe if you forget about how we missed our flight there (from traffic) and our flight back was cancelled from snow (we ended up in glasgow) and maybe forget that it was below freezing and kevin was gone all day (ya know, at the conference) then maybe it was a nice time!

just kidding...kinda. there were definitely fun moments and i'm glad we went. i liked our hotel (that always makes a difference) and we had lots of great meals. i didn't take many pictures because my fingers were frozen. so - i'll just list some of the highlights!

--ben's cookies of course, one for each day. words can't describe.
--purchasing jeans at the gap (made me feel at home + i left mine in tx)
--the best onion rings ever at gourmet burger kitchen
--great meals at jamie oliver's restaurant and jee's!
--attending trev and kathryn's church on sunday evening
--having a panini at the place i used to go to during the summer of 2004, sofie de france- yum!
--getting properly fitted for running shoes, craig would've appreciated that
--hot chocolate & palmiers at maison blanc (thanks kathryn)
--coming home to SNOW piled thick in st andrews!
things i would've liked to do:
--made our flight
--had a proper tea at the randolph
--had a meal at the old parsonage
--seen trev and kathryn's flat
--had a nanny
--eat more ben's
the end.
