Busy Weekend!

It's been an exhaustingly busy weekend!

Friday morning I had class until 1:30. After class I came back and got my laundry together and my flatmate and I went into London and dropped it off at mom & dad's hotel. Afterwards we went to Camden Town, an outdoor market with tonssss of stuff. After we bought out the whole place, we didn't have time to go to any museums like we planned so we headed back into central London. I had left my camera in my room so I rode the train all the way back out to Surbiton, grabbed it, and headed back into London and headed to the hotel for the night.

Saturday morning we all woke up early and headed into London. It was a busy day. We went to:
- the British Museum
- the National History Museum
- the Victoria & Albert Museum
- Covent Gardens
- Old Bond Street & Oxford Street
- Regent's Park
- SOHO
- Piccadilly Circus

Needless to say by the time we finally got back to the hotel at around 11 we were exhausted and headed straight for bed after soaking our feet. A long day walking makes for a very grumpy dad and an entire family who's feet are tired and hurting.

This morning we woke up early again and headed out, feeling very much refreshed from the tiring day before. Today we went to:
-Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the Guards
-Green Park
-St. James Park
-Abbey Road
-the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels
-the Tower Bridge
-the London Bridge
-the Millenium Bridge
-the Globe Theater
-St. Paul's Cathedral

We finished the night in Southbank just right down the street from the Globe and across from the Tate Modern at a local pub where I tried fish and chips for the first time. I wasn't that impressed but it wasn't terrible. Definitely one of the better foods that I've had while in the UK.

Tomorrow I am headed to Stonehenge & Bath with my class. Mom, Dad, Leslie, & Mike are heading to Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath as well although I'm not sure if we'll cross paths throughout the day. Tomorrow night we are planning on going out on the London Eye after we all get back. I'm skipping class on Tuesday so I can get one last day of sightseeing in with the family although I plan to take Mom & Leslie to Camden Town to get some shopping done!
