day three nottingham

today adam slept in (skipping morning conference)so we had lunch together at the blue bell pub in downtown nottingham. i had the fish and chips with mushy peas and adam ordered the bangers and mash.



the day's activity consisted of going to the windmill of George Green's Windmill. Green was a famous mathematician who lived in Nottingham. He was a miller who did math on the side and became very famous..

here is adam enjoying the mill

we are allowed to go into the mill to discover how he turned wheat into flour.

this is the old market square. they used to have public hangings here back in the day.

need a new camera..

my camera just died..


this sucks! i won't have pictures of paris or london? argghh!

english breakfast

yummy english breakfast. our hotel serves breakfast every morning. adam and i had breakfast together before he went to the conference today.


i am walking behind adam last night on our way to dinner. it was raining hard and it was very cold.

what a pretty dress

allison got engaged a few month's ago. she's in town visiting with friends and i got to hang out with her this saturday. i asked about the details on her wedding dress. she had a bride magazine from 2006 that had the dress she wanted to wear. she decided to go to a sample sale for that designer and she found the dress! isn't that exciting?



here's her ring.




i told adam i wanted a cartier but he says i'm getting a tiffany. :/

weird

adam took this on our way home on hyperion. i wonder what this guy is doing?

feist @ the hollywood bowl

i'll update the boston trip once i get my pictures developed. i forgot to bring my battery charger for my digital camera so i had to buy a few disposeable's for our trip.

adam and i flew home from boston arriving in burbank on sunday afternoon. We rested for a few minutes and headed out to Gelson's to pick up supplies for our picnic at the hollywood bowl.
