Days 7-9

Day 7 (Tuesday, May 29th)

Tuesday we went to the Tower of London. It was so cool to see the Crown Jewels! There is so much history there...there is so much history in all of London, really. We got to see the crown that the Queen wore for her jubilee! 

Crappy picture, I know. But you get the idea.

We had our Muggle tour of London after that! It was a 2 hour tour and it was so much fun! Not only did our tour guide take us to places where parts of Harry Potter were filmed, we also saw places that inspired J.K. Rowling and learned lots of other London history facts.

 Our super nice tour guide :)
 Headed to Hogwarts, baby!

We went and saw Jeanne's awesome office space, went grocery shopping, and we got to ride in Jeanne's car for the first time! It was weird sitting in the driver's seat but not driving haha.


After dinner, Shannon and I really wanted chocolate so we walked through the park in our pajamas to go to the grocery store. Fun times!



Day 8 (Wednesday, May 30th)

On Wednesday we went to see Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. It was so cool to be standing in the place where William and Kate got married a year ago! There were also many famous people buried there, so that was really cool too.

 YAY!
 Big Ben!
 Westminster Abbey!
LOVE!


Day 9 (Thursday, May 31st)


We went to the British museum on Thursday. We were kind of 'museum-ed' out though so we didn't stay there too long. We did see some of the gold medals they are using for the Olympics this year though!



Shannon and I also got to go to the Royal Opera House and see the opera Salome. It was good...interesting, but good haha.

It was so pretty!

On the way to the opera house we stopped at the red carpet for Prometheus. It is cool to say I have been to a red carpet, but we didn't see much and didn't stay for very long :) oh well!
