ok lets do this...


ok well let see where do i even start??? well i am in london, my mom and i made it here safe and sound. the flight was good and on the big flight from atlanta to london (gatwick) we sat next to a 30 year old girl named brandy, who i really liked, and turns out she was going to london and surrounding europe to go on a 3 month adventure BY HERSELF and she was stoked about it. sounds scary to me but she was all for it.

so my mom and i got to our hotel in london and it was very nice...and very british. we only spent 3 nights there and we had an adventure while we were there. we were able to see big ben, the london eye, the crown jewels, tower bridge, tower castle, the wax museum and lots of other things since we were on this awesome hop on hop off sort of double decker tour bus. we did all those sights in one day and it was super cool. it was weird though cause i have seen all these things in pictures my whole life and then when i get to see them in real life its not a let down but its not as sweet as i thought it would be since i have "seen" them my whole life. does that make sense? probably not but i dont want to backspace and delete all that so....moving on.
oh and i forgot to tell you all my mom and i also got to go to windsor castle (for all you people who dont know that is the royal's last name so that is where the queen lives). it was huge and castley and i liked it. mom and i got our own private tour guide (his name was john). he was really nice but oh my goodness that man could talk until the sun went down and about silly things as well. but he took us there and then to hampton court which turns out is about a 3 minute bus ride or a 10 minutes walk from where i live (yes i live next to a castle...what did you expect i live in london now). king henry VIII lived there with his six wives and all that jazz...he had a pretty sweet pad there. if anyone comes and visits i will take you there and you will have a good time.
