London Pictures!

Summer fun begins

Its been approximately 95 degrees in Atlanta every day since I got back from London, so I think its pretty safe to say that summer is upon us. My friend Jenn created the most amazing summer to-do list complete with fun stuff like eating popsicles, going to Braves games and generally enjoying life. I can't wait to mooch off her list and try some new things (restaurants, crafting, baking...yes, please).

So, to start the summer off really right, I'm heading to Raleigh this weekend and the beach next weekend! I'm equally excited about both--especially Raleigh because I have all of this stuff to look forward to:

-Beach music tonight with Erin (people in Georgia do not love/appreciate beach music like Carolinians do...I miss it)
-Bridesmaid dress shopping with Sara
-Engagement soiree for Sara and Eric on Saturday!
-Lots of other shopping, seeing best friends and hanging out with my family

I hope y'all have something fun to look forward to this weekend! London pictures to come, I promise!

Oh, to be back in London..

I would do just about anything to be able to visit this exhibit. Once in my life, I hope to go to London in the middle of the summer to be able to go on the Buckingham Palace tour! One day.

Speaking of London, the trip was fantastic. More than fantastic...we had such a good time. I would go back right now if possible. There's so much that we did and saw and ate, so I won't bore you with tens of pages of my ramblings, but here is a short list of some of the things we did on vacation:

Sunday--Arrived in London, found the hotel (right across from Hyde Park), wandered through the park looking at Kensington Palace, the Diana fountain and the Peter Pan statue. Went to bed insanely early.
Monday--St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace/Changing of the Guard, Queen's Gallery, purchased copious amounts of Royal Wedding merchandise, saw Billy Elliot in London's West End.
Tuesday--Tried to go to Westminster Abbey, but the Obamas were there and it was closed for the day, went to the Churchill Museum and War Rooms instead (amazing), rode the London Eye, saw Mousetrap (the longest running play ever), ate at the original Hard Rock Cafe, purchased many more Royal Wedding merchandise.
Wednesday--Double Decker Bus tour, river cruise of the Thames, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Harrods. Again with the Royal merch.
Thursday--Day trip to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath. So much fun.
Friday--British Museum, National Gallery of Art, Selfridges shopping, Wicked!

I'm sure there's more I can't remember right now, but we did so much! Fabulous trip. Pictures still need to be posted, but I promise to put a best-of on the blog very soon!

What have you all been up to? I'm still playing catch up after being gone!
