York

I went to York over the weekend with Sarah and John. It was about a 3 1/2 hour drive to York from London. The drive was beautiful and we stayed over night in York in a small Bed & Breakfast.

We went to Castle Howard, which is a stately home located in North Yorkshire. The castle wasn't open so we explored the extensive gardens.
