England Highlights-Day 6-7: Cambridge

I have found more time to write about our England adventures! :) 

The last few days of our trip we spent in Cambridge doing what I'm sure most tourists do in Cambridge.

The day after we returned from London, we had a nice relaxing morning and then headed into town for some shopping.  

This is King's College right in the middle of town with shops across the street.  Amazing!

I am aware I've posted similar pics but, this is just too pretty to pass up! 

I have no clue what these guys were all about, but definitely picture worthy (yes, they are in red one-piece spandex suits):

Among getting some grocery items, we stopped into a bakery shop and bought all things necessary to have high tea at home!  Grandma Donna and Grandpa Wayne gave us Torgy grandkids a generous allowance to use as we wished while in England.  We decided quality high tea would be appropriate.  We, of course, had tea as well as scones and clotted cream (which is SOOO delicious, by the way).  We also had little fruit tarts and cupcake-type-yummies! Oh yes, and a black currant pastry. YUMM!

And day 7 of our trip we spent Punting the Cam!  It was Jesse's desire to punt all the way down the Cam to a tea garden, which they had never done before, so that's just what we did!  

Here's the crew waiting to get on the boat:

It took a little longer than desired (is that an understatement, Kelly?) but we did make it there! The kids did wonderfully (is that an overstatement?) despite the long trip:

Joey's first punting experience:

This is a bunch of kids jumping off a bridge into the Cam:

Joey and Ellie:

We didn't get any pictures at the tea garden as we were a little tired and hungry by that point! :(

Kelly, Edmund, Ellie and I walked home (which saved about an hour of time) to get a much needed nap in after a LONG morning. But it was definitely fun and a good experience (I just should have remembered that "Torgerson Time Optimism") :)
