Okay I am finally doing it. Writing a post on my trip that I got back from a week ago.
I have been a busy lady since I got home so sorry for the delay.
So here is a post about my trip to London with my Nana.
More about the rest of my trip later.
This post is loaded with pictures so enjoy.
Well this trip was an adventure.
I had so much fun and I cannot wait to get back there.
Nana and I were there for 3 full days and we barely saw or did anything because there is sooo much!
We did shop though because we can find a way to do that anywhere.
This was our first day and the first red double decker we saw. And yes I get that face from her all the time.
We had a little trouble finding it but we made it to Harrods!
Nana waiting for the tube. She was a pro by the end of the last day.
Since I now sew I had to find Liberty of London. I wanted to take pictures of the inside so badly but I think I would have been yelled at. It is gorgeous inside and they have half a floor dedicated to sewing. It was my first time being in a fabric store since I started sewing. It was VERY hard to resist.
Not only do they sell beautiful fabric but beautiful flowers
We also stopped by Marks and Spencer but the only pictures I have from there are Nana eating and I know she would be so mad at me for posting them.
On our way home that night I found the house I would like Joel to buy me
Just a little something
The next day we did more walking and did Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Nana's favourite Trafalgar Square.
She was always too busy looking at everything else but the camera when I was trying to take a picture.
Piccadilly Circus where I found a GAP store with a 50% off sale so I bought my sister and I matching t-shirts.
That's how we roll.
Nana was ecstatic to find this stature of Florence Nightingale, her hero.
We saw so many beautiful parks with the flowers blooming
Can you tell she is happy to be there?
That was a lot of walking so once we were done our little tour we headed back to the hotel to relax for a bit. We spent that afternoon having tea and sweets at a cafe by the hotel and finished the night off with a nice big plate of fish and chips at the local pub. Perfect!
The last day we had a tour scheduled. A bus tour.
We got on and got our cameras ready. Nana was ready for action.
We saw where Kate and William will be married in a few weeks
Westminster Abby
And across the street Westminster Cathedral
Nana was so happy she danced around light posts
But then promptly sat down and ate a little something with King George V
We saw the Calvary Museum and had out pictures taken with horses.
I took special consideration of the sign because of my recently string of bad luck with animals
Then we stopped by to say hello to The Queen and Buckingham Palace
Saw a little of the changing of the guards
We moved across the Thames so I could take this really cool picture of the London Eye with Big Ben in the middle
We stopped for lunch at Covent Garden and I treated Nana to a little macaroon for dessert
I did love it there I just wish we had more time to walk around
We moved on to the most important church, St. Paul's Cathedral.
Two reasons: Charles and Diana were married there and secondly this is where they first see the bird lady in Mary Poppins
Nana loved it too
Isn't she cute with two pairs of glasses
The final stop of the day before we take a river tour
Tower of London
There were guards marching
Bridges
And Nana's favourite, Beefeaters
My favourite was the Crown Jewels
To each their own
I enjoyed myself and from what I can tell Nana did too.
We found her the William and Kate cup she was looking for and saw a lot in a quick 3 days.
I hope you enjoyed this picture party.
I'll write more about the rest of the trip soon.
