On 29 March my mom, stepdad, and sister arrived in London to visit me for 2 weeks. We spent 2 nights in London then headed to Euston Station in London to catch a train to Glasgow, Scotland for 4 days. We stayed a friend's gorgeous 3 bedroom house in a small countryside town called Kilearn. We spent a day up in Stirling at the Stirling castle. We also spent some time touring the countryside and taking in the mountains that surrounded the area. We had beautiful weather the entire stay in Scotland. On the 4th day we returned to London via the Virgin Trains. We then spent the next 7 days seeing the sights of London. We went on the London Eye, to the Dali Museum, The Churchill War Museum and War Cabinets, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, The National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and Greenwich (where we were able to stand in two hemispheres at the same time at the Royal Observatory). They then departed London to head back to reality in Maryland on 9 April.
I spent a week in Guildford after they left. It was a ghost town! I did laundry, watched a few movies, and spent some time researching for my term paper. Then cam Friday 17 April and my dad, stepmom, and brother finally arrived in London! We spent the week in London seeing even more sights that I never got to see while my mom was here. We went to the Science Museum, Natural History Museum, British Museum (home of the Rosetta Stone), St. Paul's Cathedral, saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and strolled the streets of Notting Hill. We found a cute little street off the main path that led us to some fantastic restaurants. We had an amazing dinner at La Tasca which was a beautiful Spanish Tapas restaurant, and I tried my first sangria!
I promise to post pictures of Scotland as soon as I possibly can! Until then I apologise again!
