the oexmanns invade england

my family is in the midst of a much overdue reunion. we were fortunate enough to get together ten american relatives organized enough to travel to england for the oexmann art award this year. we rented a house in steeple ashton, and have spent the last week visiting family friends and relatives.
here are some pictures from the last few days (including some from the art show)

my adventure started in lexington, with a mini-reunion.
trudy, sarah, maria, charles, james, me, tommy, amy and phil had dinner at trudy's house.
