Travel: Cambridge Campus
Cambridge campus! That’s right, we spent some time (you might be able to guess why…Bryce is awesome!) on campus at Cambridge.

Okay, let’s check out some photos. Cambridge Campus First up, the trees – they’re old, historic, and full of stories. This one is flat out neat. The University of Cambridge has more…

Travel: Great St. Mary’s
Great St. Mary’s is a church that you can climb to the top of – really! The tower is narrow, and it’s about 123 steps up. Only one-way traffic is allowed – so be sure to give yourself a bit of time if you’re in a rush, since you might have to wait to descend. When we attended, it was a windy day, yet the sky was clear, and you could get a great sense of the city. Okay, let’s check out some photos. Great…

Travel: Belfast Snapshot
Belfast snapshot – we ventured north before heading into the capital of Northern Ireland. The Giant’s Causeway is a must see. Be sure to bring your walking shoes and walk all the way up to see the amphitheatre. So many people didn’t make that venture, and I get the mobility issues, yet I think many don’t know there’s more to explore. Okay, I’ll share more about that in a specialized post. For now, onward to Belfast! Belfast Snapshot First up, we visited the W5 –…
