This weekend has been amazing.
Saturday from 10am-3pm we took a double-decker bus tour of London. It was chilly and kind of rainy so it wasn't ideal, but we saw EVERYTHING from Big Ben to The Tower of London to Tower Bridge, and about every other famous landmark in London. The pictures are posted at the link below.

Saturday night, we took a train to a town called Guildford in Surrey to see "Potted Potter." The point of the play is for two guys to act out all seven of the Harry Potter books in seventy minutes. It was absolutely hilarious and definitely worth the trip. It was also neat to get out of London for an evening and see some of the English countryside.
Today, Caitlin and I woke up kinda early so we could get a full day in London. We went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard at 11:15 this morning. We ate lunch in a cute pub called The Princess of Wales, and I had an amazing stuffed baked potato. After lunch, we went to The National Gallery (admission was free!) and saw works by Rembrandt, da Vinci, Monet, Michaelangelo, Degas, Cezanne, Seurat, Raphael, Botticelli, and Van Gogh. It was AMAZING. Afterward, we had traditional afternoon tea at a really nice hotel overlooking Buckingham Palace. I had peppermint tea and the scones were delicious.
I am exhausted and completely not excited about going to work tomorrow. After having so much free time, spending the whole day for five days in a row inside sounds like the worst idea in life. Oh well.
