June 23-28
Jared and Ellis are teenage kids of some good friends back in Monticello. As a high school graduation gift (and lots of work saving up to pay for most of the trip) they came over to Europe on a 3 week tour.
We were their first stop on their tour.
Jared had never been outside of the states while Ellis had traveled quite a bit with his family. So when Jeanne picked Jared up (they arrived a day apart), Jared was jet-lagged but in high excitement mode. Everything was new and thrilling for him so it was truly fun to watch his reactions to the various differences in culture.
The next day was Bryce's shotput competition and then in the evening we met up with Ellis. But the following days we were able to visit Lincoln and Stamford. As a last minute idea we decided to add-on a drive to see Stonehenge on the way to London. It was a lot of driving, but worth it for them to be able to see such a highlight of the country.
While we were there we stopped by Avebury where Jeanne filmed this hilarious video of Jared having a conversation with a sheep.
Jared is quite the conversationalist!
We had a great time with you guys! You were a joy to host!
