this weekend i got to spend two gorgeous sunny days in london. since we only had two days, we tried to pack in as much as we could. unfortunately, this meant that we didn't spend a very significant amount of time at any place, but it did allow us to see everything we wanted to.
day 1:
-saw big ben. took pictures
-saw westminster abbey. took pictures
-saw buckingham palace. ran around. posed for thousands of different pictures. took more pictures.
-st james's park. spent the rest of the beautiful afternoon in the park with couples, old people ,children, and hundreds of trees and birds. decided it was my favorite park i have ever been to. it MIGHT beat balboa park.....probably not.
-got dressed up and wore red lipstick for the first time since i played dress up with shannon when we were 5.
-ate the hottest most delicious thai food ever
-saw chicago. in london. got choked up because the dancing was so unbelievable.
-had the most awkward situation of my life on the tube ride home. sobbed because i was laughing so hard.
-slept in a hostel with 5 other girls. the room? 100% purple. i'm not even kidding.

-got afternoon tea for 2 complete with 2 scones, 2 pieces of cake, 4 sandwiches and free refills. all for 10 pounds.
