It was really really busy. Needless to say, we had lots of fun and took lots of pictures. I would have to say that the highlight of my day was definitely going to the Cath Kidston store that took us 8 years to find. I felt like a kid in a candy store walking into Cath Kidston.
It was so bright and wonderful. I felt overwhelmed. I loved it so much I thought I would take a few pictures to share with all of you, but then the mean lady who worked there told me that I could not take pictures inside the store because she was worried I was a secret spy sent to take all their good ideas.
Well, she didn't say those exact words but she said something about copyright infringement. I could only stand with my mouth open in shock as I thought that she just infringed my joy!
Anyways, I had lots of fun in the store and bought some gifts for certain family members. I also bought an umbrella and some dish washing gloves. So other than my trip to Cath Kidston, we did see some cool historical places as well.
I am glad we went to them first because at the end of the day I only had energy for shopping.
We saw Westminster Abbey, the London Eye which is the ferris wheel thing, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament which Gregg and I are standing in front of on the bridge.
It was really fun seeing all of these historical places, even though I am not a historical buff and have no idea what they are or what they do but at least I saw them.
I do know that they told me about each of these places but I was too busy wondering when we were going to go to Cath Kidston and wondering where all the shopping was.
I personally think they should not have all the historical things in one area because that can be overwhelming but rather they should mix it up with some cool shops in between. I just came up with that. I think its a great idea.
Anyways, these are pics of my trip to London. It was a lot of fun and we are glad we got to go. I will write the next time I go on an adventure. Bye!
Sounds like it was a lot of fun, plus you got all of the historical sites in too. Haha, yeh maybe they could have planned the city better by not putting so much history together. Haha. You are hilarious and nutty, my daughter. - Dad

ReplyDeleteI have to give that one the quote of the day.
I love the pictures! Looks like a lot of fun. And I agree, London city planning needs to look into your idea - a little bit of educational history combined with great shopping.
