Hampton Court

 

We enjoyed the day at Hampton Court Palace. King Henry the VIII and his heirs (and six wives) lived there. It was really interesting to learn so much about it while being there! It's like history coming to life! It was so awesome to be where kings and queens walked the halls all the time! 

We made it to the center of the maze!

A Day about the Town

We went to Borough Market, Shakespeare Globe, Tate Modern, and Beare's Violin shop. That's about all I have time to say about them now, so I'll let the pictures do the talking!

Borough Market

We walked by St. Pauls. "Feed the Birds"

We walked over London Bridge

This is for Whitney and Alicia

Queen Style

Fun day today indeed. After sleeping in a bit Ruth, Galileo, and I went to a castle. Leeds Castle.

Ruth started on my senior pictures. She's amazing! 

The grounds there were stunning. It much reminded me of what I picture Mr. Darcy's yard looking like.

King Henry VIII,

Six wives he was wedded, 

One died, one survived, 

Two divorced, two beheaded

Keep Manhattan Just Give Me That Countryside

We woke up this morning and headed to the airport. After much difficulty all around, Ruth finally made it back home! So glad to have Ruth and Galileo here. While we were waiting Tyler and I played Ticket to Ride again on his iPad...and I won...again. (few times I've been able to say that) 

We packed into their cute little car...and I mean packed and made our way towards Cambridge. Wow it was so beautiful! 

We found a grocery store and picked up some yummy things to have a picnic with. We ate this food in Jesus Green. The sky was so gorgeous early on today!

We walked around Cambridge looking at some of the different schools. Kings College was my favorite. 

We were planing to go punting (boat ride) but it was beginning to rain and we were all very cold! 

I got so many breathtaking photos today! It was really neat to see places 800 years old! Thanks to Mr. Flaniken for giving me information and vibrant details about it before I came. That made it even better! 

Praise the Lord!

Galileo's passport, through much difficulty, all worked out and he and Ruth are flying out tonight as planned! Praise to God for working all that out for us! Pray that they'll have a safe journey and make it home safely tomorrow!
