Well?



...Ya.

What a BLESSING it was to go to London! :)

Kind of academic suicide...but it really has been worth every sacrifice I've had to make.

The first day we got there and visited Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and Tower Bridge. But then went to sleepies, because DANG JET LAG!

The next day we attended Windsor Castle. That mostly took up our entire day but it was so stinking fun. It was about an hour and a half outside of London, so our family hopped on a quaint little train and headed to see the Queen! haha. We spent an hour our two going through the exhibits of the castle there. Then we went to the River Thames just underneath the castle. We fed swans! haha. it was great fun. then we had dinner...oh man... it was the most adorable little restaurant I have ever seen. We sat outside surrounded by the glorious trees and flowers, looking up to the castle! We returned late that night.

The next day we went to the London temple. WOOO_HOOO. my brothers and I got to participate in baptisms there. it just made me realize JUST HOW MUCH WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE! Then we walked around the gardens there for a little bit. and then went to another quaint eating revenue. I'm telling ya. They just dot the landscape! AWH. I'm in love. haha. And for inside jokes purposes: GIANT OATY NOBBLY. :) Then we went and viewed the "essentials". Big Ben, Parliament, the London Eye. TOO MUCH FUN.

Saturday we filmed with my papa at the St. Luke's Cathedral. My my it was beautiful... We just got to sit there, listening to a beautiful choir fill the empty spaces of that beautiful cathedral. AND? I met my childhood rolemodel. WENDY. From peter pan. It was so stinking intimidating, meeting the girl I wished I could be for so many years. Super cool though! And that night we went to Wicked. Love that show!

Sunday we played it more layed back and just went to the countryside. We saw stonehenge! but really just enjoyed the countryside, namely salisbury. It may have been one of my favorite days. Just gathered at a park, with my family, of which i love more than ANYTHING ON EARTH. :) Yup. Salisbury was beautiful.

But ya! There was my slight itinerary.

Really though? The thing that I loved the most while I was there? MY FAMILY :)
