More London Adventures!

What an exciting day! It started with the best possible care package I could EVER have imagined receiving. I can't even talk about how great it was, b/c I will start to feel overwhelmed and shy all over again. Thank you my Seattle lovers!!

So, today we went on a very touristy excursion in London. First, we went to Hyde Park.

We started with a visit to Peter Pan.

Then we visited the alligator (or, a-lee-guh-tor, right Julia??) in the Peter Pan playground. We were yelled at b/c apparently you need to be accompanied by a child. Oops. Sad that we aren't considered kids anymore!

Next, we stopped by Platform 9 and 3/4...I wanted to go through to Hogwarts, but that wasn't on the schedule for the day. Boo.



This is my friend, Paige. Actually, we are both Paige H. Also, her sister's name is Kyla. Isn't that FUNNY???? It's weird sharing my name with someone-we both respond and then say, "which one??" Or we just both go; a two-for-one deal, if you will.

We ended the night in Trafalgar Square. The London Film Festival is going on right now, so they put up a huge movie screen and played black and white footage of London in 1903. There was live classical music to accompany the film. I stood there, looking at all of the lights and the people, watching this movie as double decker buses drove by in the background and Big Ben glowed in the distance, and I had an "OhmygoshIamactuallyinLondon!!!" moment. Really, it doesn't get much better!
