England Trip - PART ONE London

Hey all,

Well, I'm back in Los Angeles after an amazing two-week trip to England. I got in late last night and was, and still am, absolutely knackered (as the Brits say, it means tired). It was a long 11-hour flight back, but I have to say it went pretty smoothly as far as flights go, and even though I'm not a big fan of flying I have to give kudos to British Airways, which in my opinion is the best airline I've ever flown with. Definitely the best service ever.

I want to share my trip adventures in parts, because my boyfriend Pete and I really covered a lot of places and miles throughout the country, so this first travelogue blog will be devoted to all things London. The first week of the trip, and the last 2 days were spent in England, and these are some of the photos taken during out journey. I had some camera trouble so some of the shots were taken with a kooky digital camera, and a one-time use Polaroid camera, but I think they turned out pretty good. Here ye go, enjoy!!!


Me & Pete at Trafalgar Square, aren't we cute :D



Trafalgar Square



Art Gallery at Trafalgar Square at sunset



Big Ben, & some guy's head in the picture, lol. Darn!


The Parliament buildings



Westminster Abbey. Absolutely beautiful architecture



More close up picture of the exquisite detail of Westminster Abbey


Beautiful building and statue at a park in London



A view of The Thames River as we walked along. Across the river you can see the London Eye and an aquarium located in that enormous old building




Pete during one of our walks through Finchley, London. Here he is, looking more innocent than a cherub. The only thing missing from this pic is his halo



As you can see he's very versatile. Here he is trying to instill the look of fear with a mortal kombat pose. But don't worry, he's a harmless gent!

Hope you enjoyed some of these tidbits. More pictures from London and around England to follow in the days to come!

Thanks ladies for all the comments! Kristina, yes, I'm in a relationship, and happy, YAY!!!

Steph, I can't wait for you to meet Pete. If you think those expressions are funny, he is SOO hilarious! Comedic-wise he's like the guy version of me, teehee!

Rychelle, thanks so much for the compliments!

Zina, wow, I can't believe you're up and blogging, writing, so quickly after having your baby (which if I might say is the most ADORABLE baby ever!) Congrats again! What a blessing! And yes, I do quite fancy Pete. He is definitely cute, and what's great is he also has a really big heart. I'm so happy and grateful to have met him.
