Roald Dahl museum

so i stumbled onto the roald dahl museum while doing research for our london trip. it had 5 star and 1 star reviews (i hate that!!) so i just took the chance and we went. Wow! so glad i did. just a 40 minute train ride out of london and about 30 bucks for the family ticket and we were in. i understand some of the complaints (we didnt get a to have a visit with the storyteller because school children were visiting, bummer) but the museum itself is really well done. we also spent the day walking around Great Missenden, which was a real treat as well.

after the museum visit, we strolled around town and took a walk up to where roald dahl is buried. adjacent to the cemetery was this church that looked like a castle, so many interesting things to stumble on in england. i have never had a dull day trip ever from london. it doesn't take much to amaze me though. this is emily's real true reaction to the castle church.

emily tested out her waterproof shoes (we all had new shoes and they really came in handy for the rainy weather and hiking we did this trip) Photo-51
perfect name for a house here... i will post more photos of the museum (inside) soon, i had to download photos to our house computer, my portable computer is overloaded and acting strange so stay tuned for much more of our trip!!
