FRIEND.
It's been awhile, or so it seems.
My dad finally took me to London with him over Easter and it was the most incredible experience. I loved all of it. It was a jam packed three days, I wish we could have stayed longer because it is such an awesome city (except for everybody farting on the underground). Time for a picture dump! (I'm really awkward in all of these okay don't judge me)
We started the first day off by going to Tower of London. It was pretty sweet as we wound our way through all sorts of rooms showing off everything from where they kept prisoners to where they showed off the crown jewels. On the way to see the crown jewels, we had to stand in a very butch line in which we were forced to watch dramatic videos of the history of the jewels on loop. Worth it! It was glorious. By the size of the jewels, it seems you would need to have the neck of Arnold Schwarzenegger to keep those things on your head for long.
Tower Bridge!
We took this spiral staircase up a billion steps and ended up in this dome.
We decided to keep going up! After a gruesome workout we ended up on this outer balcony.
Did you guys watch Doctor Who? That triangle building is the one he rides his anti-gravity motorcycle up and crashes through, thus saving the planet once again.
We also walked around Picadilly Circus.
It's a lot like Times Square in New York except NY doesn't have this really awesome street performer.
On Saturday my dad surprised me with The Beatles Let It Be show! It was pretty sweet. My dad was complaining that the lady sitting next to him had the worst voice ever and I just responded by laughing at the entire situation he was in.
Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band!
Aww yeah Big Ben. There she is- Yeah my dad referred to it as female.
Parliament! Looking as classy as ever.
Here is me being awkward in front of Buckingham Palace on Saturday night.
Kensington Park
Some Peter Pan statue. My dad told me to go be awkward so I did.
We walked through the park to get to Buckingham Palace again on Sunday morning to see the changing of the guard but my dad's watch was an hour off so we totally missed it. Honey Badger don't care. (Just kidding, dad you better take me again so I can see this!)
This is how I spent Easter 2013! At the GLOBE THEATRE. Super stoked about it.
Annette was our guide. I don't think I've ever met anyone more spunky than Annette.
Zodiac on the ceiling.
Thou smell of a mountain goat
The stage was set up for Romeo and Juliet.
I may be mistaken, but I think this might possibly be the bridge the Death Eaters from Harry Potter blow up? I dunno, but I guess they fixed it because I seemed to be able to ross it no problem.
Westminster Abbey is really awesome. Too bad we missed going inside it. (Again- dad you are just going to have to take me again to see all the things we missed this time).
We finished off Easter night by going to some pub and I got fish n' chips.
Cheers!
So long and thanks for all the fish!
Bonus picture of my dad and I being awkward on top of St. Patrick's.... I mean St. Paul's Cathedral!
