Things I love about the UK!
I have to say that the 3 days that we spent in York with Christy were my favorite part of the trip! I love Cornish Pasties…I love how much everyone in her ward on Sunday talked about the Osmond's (they were there in concert Saturday night…too bad we did not know that) I loved driving on the Motor-Way (with Christy's friend) all the way from Bath back up to York. I loved the little attic room Julie and I stayed in. I loved grabbing our food from the take-away stores (which we did every day in London too) I loved going to Castle Howard. I loved York, the wall, the Minster, how nice all the people are there. I loved Bath. Sad because we did not have time to go to the Jane Austin stuff (just more for me to do next time) we did go through the main Roman Bath which was crazy that it all still works.
London was fun too…I loved riding the underground, I loved our flat right on the water, I loved Wagamamma's (we ate there twice), I loved climbing all the stairs to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral, I think so far I have lost 4lbs that I am giving Joe credit for. Every day in London we walked for 6+ hours, up and down stairs and all around the town. I loved having a chocolate croissant every morning for breakfast. I loved seeing the crown jewels, and all the Tower of London stuff. I loved the little church that burnt down that they turned into a park. I would eat lunch there all the time if I worked in the city. The museums were fun (the museum shops were even more fun) I bought the grandkids new Katie books. I love 'Katie and the Bathers'…so I got them 'Katie goes to London'.
I loved the history of it all. The humidity was kinda a shock. I know it rains there, but I did not think it would just be so humid there every day. I had to forgo doing the hair and had to braid it every day because it just got so fro-e. I also did not realize that they go off of military time (what do they call it…just time right) so that was weird. Luckily Joe was fast at doing the conversion. I love the UK money…and of course I got used to all the coins the last day we were there. I loved all the shopping…I liked the Diet Coke (it tasted a little different) but was still sooo yummy!
I loved comparing the UK to Disneyland (at first just to upset Joe) then he kinda agreed. At first it was just the accents and the clothing…but then there were the lines to get into places, and how after every place we went to at the end you ended up in a gift shop (or 2) but I know, I know….Europe is way cooler than Disneyland! Joe kept saying that Disneyland and Las Vegas are the poor mans Europe…so I guess that makes us more something than the poor man. But gosh you have to love Disneyland and Vegas…
So there are a few things I loved about my trip. I am excited for future trips to London and other European countries.

haha...I loved the part about Joe and Disneyland--how you always ended up in a gift shop. LOL! :) i guess that's the way it goes.
Only you Jill could end a blog entry on the UK with how you love Vegas and Disneyland! Next time you go to the UK (or Vegas or Disneyland) I MUST go with you!
I'm so jealous!!!! How come you never invite me on any of your fun trips??? You'd have to pay of course, but that is a small price to pay for MY company!!!
