Dad's Visit to England

My dad has reason to come to Europe for business, and we are loving it! He came out to see us last weekend. We spent an afternoon walking around Oxford. He had to stay at our house and work when we took mom to Oxford last trip. Here are some of the pictures we took around Oxford.
We're not quite sure what this building is because the name was in Latin. But, we think it was some kind of arts center or something.
Here we are at Oxford Castle! We didn't go inside, but we loved that Oxford had it's own castle. Here we are in front of Christ's Church College.
More Christ's Church.
We also walked around the indoor market. Here's dad in front of the fish section of the market. It kind of reminds us of the feel (and smell) of Pike's Place market in Seattle.
It's impossible to capture the magnificance of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin.
Here we are in front of a group of Oxford colleges. We loved the cluster of spires in this view. We loved having dad visit and hope he makes it out to see us again!! Thanks for coming dad!
