Londons Calling

So much has happened and there is so much to say. While I started this blog mainly to showcase my school and trips I have taken while working at SkyWest, I have so much more to add on. I guess the best place to start is from now and on. Well, I will back up a little. This post will mostly be pictures of my most recent trip to London. I went for Spring Break, which was March 19th - March 24th. One of my best friends in the world was living there for a few months to help out her aunt and I decided that I was going to come visit. So, for my birthday and other reasons I took off on what became an interesting adventure...

It started off at the airport on Saturday morning. My alarm didn't go off and when I got to the airport... I ended up not getting on the direct flight to Detroit. So, I had to find a detour and I found a great one. I decided the best way to get there was SLC to Rapid City to Minneapolis to Detroit and then to my final destination, London. I had a great time and even saw Mount Rushmore in Rapid City, but it turned into a SUPER long day. Now I understand when people complain to me about being awake since 4 am on flights. Ugh.

Here is Mount Rushmore. I rented a car in Rapid and drove the half hour to see this sight. I didn't, however, want to pay the 11 dollars to get up and personal with the presidents. While amazing craftmanship, they were small and a little disappointing. I also stopped at a Taffy making place while I was there, the taffy was good... but nothing like salt water taffy. Nothing is as good as out salt water.



This is one of the first pictures that I took. I promised Emily, a friend from work at the U, that I would take random pics while I was there. And this was one of them. The tube. And this is London. :)



Nat, with her cocktail and the best cocktails sign EVER!


I wish I would have been here all day saturday for the Portobello Road Market. I love markets and I know this one would have been my VERY favorite!!!!

Fish n' chips. I didn't have them last time I was here... so I had them this time! Yum!
Nat and I at a pub... she really likes this place. It was good! and it was right after we saw Pricilla Queen of the Desert! It was so amazing. Best Birthday present EVER!!!
From the top of a bus... I love London.


At Princess Diana's Memorial Playground. It was so amazing. Just like living in Peter Pan's playground!
Map of Kensington Gardens. We... got lost.
Sophie loves her Natty.

This is Hyde Park. My FAVORITE place in London. So peaceful and beautiful... I love it.

More of Hyde Park!
And last but not least... walking across Abbey Road! and more of Diana's Playground.
