Anticipation..

My blogging has been less than perfect this week. Today is my last final and then it is summer! I'm so excited! Although I am taking 12 hours of school during summer, that's fine because they won't start till June!

WARNING: EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS!

At this time next week, I will be on my way to London! Right now I will be on the plane to Boston where I have a 7 (yes, you read that correctly), 7 hour lay over before flying to London! If anyone has ANY suggestions on things to do during a layover or particularly at the Boston Logan Airport, please let me know!


I am super excited for my trip! I have been distracted while studying for finals because this is all I can think about! Emily & I have been talking a little about what we will do during my stay there and have come up with a small list! This is the list that I gave her kinda as a rough draft so far..

-national gallery
-Tate modern
-British museum (maybe)
-west minister abbey
-west minister hall
-tower of London
-st Paul's cathedral
-Buckingham palace
-Harrods
-London zoo... :):)
-highgate cemetery
-have afternoon tea somewhere
-go to a pub
-Camden lock market & east end
-shop at really cool places..
-have a picnic in a park

Those are just things that I thought of that I know for sure I want to see or do. We already have a 2 day excursion planned to Bath! We are going to go stay 2 nights in Bath, England and see the sights there and go to the ancient roman baths and spend a day in a really cool spa! Here are a few pictures of bath!



Thermae Bath Spa!

The ancient Roman baths
During our stay at bath we are going to stay at a hostel one night and a little bed and breakfast the other!

We got a twin room in the hostel!

This is the quaint little bed and breakfast!
This trip is going to be so amazing & I can't believe I'm actually getting this opportunity! Especially with my best friend of 16 years! I will have so many stories when I get back it will be unreal.

On a side note: I feel like I need to be stylish when I go to London. Emily says she hardly ever sees anyone wear jeans! What!? I wear jeans on a daily basis. So I'm trying to come up with a way to get new outfits before I go. Kinda pathetic yes, but I'm a girl. Any suggestions on outfits or places to look?

  2. I don't think you'll feel out of place in jeans, but then again your friend probably knows best!

    If you want to see a lot in a little time and not worry too much about the subways, I'd suggest one of the double decker hop-on-hop-off bus tours. They have recordings and then you can get off at whatever stops and do your thing and then hop back on.

    Don't forget fish and chips!
