St. Louis stop on the 13th of June

Mom and I will start our journey with a road trip from our respective homes to St Louis on the 13th of June. I used Priceline.com to get our reservations in town, so that we can have a good nights sleep. We were upgraded to a four star hotel, the Hyatt Regency in Union Station!

We need to be on the Amtrak at 6:00 AM on the 14th, and have a 6 hour trip to Chicago. We then need to get from the train station to O'Hare Airport by 4:00 PM for our 6 o'clock flight to London. We will have an 8 hour flight and arrive in London at Heathrow at 8 in the morning. Hopefully Brian will be waiting for us with a big smile on his face. Then we drive out to Frome, south of Bath. It will be a long day, but I hope we get some sleep on the plane so that we can enjoy the drive and see some sights that first day.

Rodden Manor, Frome in Somerset- First Stop

The first stop on our trip will be Rodden Manor in Somerset. It is just south of Bath.








Attached to the historic medieval Manor, part of which dates from Norman times, Rodden Manor Cottage lies in secluded privacy on the banks of Rodden Brook half a mile outside Frome. The moated Manor house was acquired by Sir John ('Little Jack') Horner following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. According to the popular story, at the time of dissolution Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury, hoped to appease Henry VIII by sending his steward Jack Horner to London with a Christmas gift, a pie, hidden in which were deeds of twelve manors, including those of Rodden and Mells. On the journey, Jack opened the pie and removed the deeds; shortly afterwards the Horner family took up residence at Mells.
