Fountains Abbey






So yesterday we decided to do some sightseeing. We pass these.. windmills?  every day on the way to base. There are several of them. It always looks so odd to me. The big things in the middle of a green pasture...with cows!










This picture was mostly for Erica : )
There are tractors EVERYWHERE on the roads
just outside of town!
You just have to wait for a chance to pass them
oooorrr sit behind them and wait..and wait







Here is the begining of our tour through founains abbey.
There were so many beautiful buildings.


This is the fountains hall built between 1598 and 1604!







This is an old mill. THe biggest door there,
Jason had to duck in almost every entrance way



The Fountains Abbey
You are able to go inside and look around.
There are fields where you can play games & have picnics
It is like nothing we had ever seen before :)


The archways inside the abbey were GORGEOUS!



























This road was supposedly supposed to be a two lane road!
How that would work I have noo idea!
Luckily no one else drove by..
I don't know how we would have fit!



One of the BEAUTIFUL views on our way home
