Activities
Some of the many fun activities we'll enjoy are watch a show at the Sheldonian Theatre on the 8th, take a carriage ride around town on the 11th and visit the Malmasion Castle on the 14th. Oxford is a town full of beautiful and historical architecture so Theo and I will most likely just walk around and look at all the amazing buildings.

Culture/History
Oxford has a population of 150,200 people and is the 52nd largest city in the UK. The city is known world-wide as the "University Town" home to both the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. Oxford is also well known for its many breweries. Even several universities in Oxford have their own private breweries. Overall, Oxford is a very cultured and historical site and is a very wise choice for a vacation spot.
Problem/Solutions
When going on vacation out of the country we all know that managing yours and their currency can be somewhat difficult. So to prevent any confusion I will always remember to bring Theo with me when I plan to buy anything seeing as he was born in Oxford and knows how to convert American money into English pounds.
Myself As A Traveler
When I travel I love to explore. I don't like setting exact dates and times because then I feel rushed and can"t fully enjoy the experience. I also like to visit any famous landmarks or fascinating places like the Eiffel Tower or the Pyramids of Giza. They give me an oppurtunity to take awesome pictures (which I LOVE to do on vacations!) and spend quality time with loved ones.
Conclusion/Reflection
I wanted to pick a vacation spot that was relaxing and interesting and I'm confident Oxford is a smart choice. Oxford has a lot to offer such as beautiful architecture, historical sites, plenty of stunning nature and everywhere we go is a place to learn about oxfords fascinating history. I also like the fact that traveling in the UK is somewhat inexpensive and easy. I'm very excited for this trip. ~(^0^~)
