Daddy's First Trip to England


First trip to England-Trinity College, University of Bristol, Bath, Oxford University and more!

Left: Craig and his students; John Milton, BQ2, Sean Purcell, and Karen Harding.  We had a great time together.
Right: Trinity College, a beautiful campus.  The original buildings were a slave traders home built in 1669. 



Left: The inscription says "1669" to mark the year it was built.  Right: This is the flat J.I. Packer lived in when he wrote his famous, "Knowing God."

Left: The University of Bristol, Wills Memorial. Right: Inside Wills Memorial, graduation site.

 
 Left: The town of Bath.  Beautiful place!  Bath Abbey is behind me.  Right: Bath Abbey's front door, incredible!

 Left and Right: Oxford University.




Left: Christ Church, one of the Colleges of Oxford. Right: Christ Church Hall, where Harry Potter was filmed.


 Left and Right: The famous Eagle and Child pub where C.S. Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien and the "Inklings" met weekly.


 The trip was wonderful.  Only having Ashley and the kids along could have made it better.  The paper presentation, fellowship time with fellow students and faculty, visiting with Nick and Laura Lee in Oxford, even the airline travel was a blast.  Can't wait to go back!
