Journey to Durham

Kelli and I made the trip down to Durham last Thursday afternoon, stopping in Edinburgh for the night with our cousins. We thought we would show you a bit of our trip. First, as you can see, we grabbed some coffee to go at a gas station (coffee which might be a little too optimistic about its quality!).



Then, we kept up our track record of getting lost at least once per journey and turned around at this random estate entrance.



Other than taking a wrong turn or two, the journey down was pretty uneventful...except for a half an hour blizzard in Northern England. It started with some flurries, but those quickly turned into a major storm. A semi skidded off the road and traffic came to a sliding halt at one point, where we all sat on the highway for about 5 minutes without moving. After that, the rest of our time in the snow was driving 20 miles per hour trying not to get too close to the person in front of you.



As quickly as the snow came it stopped, and we made it unscathed to Durham. We'll post more about the time there, but here is a pic of the Cathedral from across the town.
