Day 27: Hadrian's Wall

We woke early as we had all our friends to play with and after playing with our sticks in the garden, we had a short hop to the Roman Fort museum. It was very cool as we got 3-D glasses to wear for the special film all about what life was like for the soldiers who had to come from Rome to live and work near the wall. It was interesting and we got sharks teeth at the gift shop too!😊😆

Next, we headed out on a BIG walk up and down steep hills. We were actually following Hadrians Wall which goes all the way across the country from the west coast, all the way to nearly Newcastle. We got to walk on the wall and have a good run around on the grass around it. The spot where we had our picnic was a sensational view (see the picture Daddy has put on below). We walked a long way.

Next, we went to one of the biggest Roman Forts - Vindolanda. It was just a lots of low walls and not very high but we learnt that is has been there for 2 thousand years and shows what the town would have looked like when all the Romans lived there! We ran around and pretended to be soldiers. 

We had a delicious ice cream and went home for a bar-b-q cooked by the dads (the mums helped too) before we were allowed to watch a DVD with our friends.
We loved today.
