England In Photos: Cumbria - Part 1

These photos correspond with our trip to Cumbria to visit friend Kerry Stott, the weekend of March 10th, 2012.  The first entry about the trip can be found on our other blog: A Weekend With The Stotts.

Obviously taking hundreds of pictures means we have to do more than one photo entry, this will be the first of at least two, probably three, as we write about what we saw, and mix it with a little interesting history.
