Mom's Visit
Well Hello my long lost friends. Sorry if the past week I have been antisocial to anyone and have little knowledge to what is going on in their lives (Katy, Krissy, Alex, etc.) But my mom was here!!! We had sooo much fun and I just took her to the airport at 4:30 this morning. It was sad that she left, but I am really really tired from our busy week. So here goes on what mom and I accomplished in her six days in Europe.
Sunday-Mom flew in at 7:30am but she didn't get through imigration until 10am. She wasn't happy. We went back to my place and had lunch, then we went into London to Madame Tussaud's. It's a wax work place and it was really really cool. We had so much fun taking pics with random people. They were all just placed in the crowd of people and I ran into a few. We then went to their torture chamber, mom didn't want to go but I made her. The people tried to scare you by getting right up to your face, and the one guy was in my face and he had really good breath, so I told him, and I think he smiled a little bit. haha. Well then we went to dinner and mom had a semi early night.
Monday-Mom and I got up bright and early and went to Windsor Castle. The Queen was there and we saw the parade and the changing of the guards. Mom loved it. It was beautiful. We walked around there and headed back to my place. We got our overnight bags and went into london to stay for the night before mom's surprise trip Tuesday and Wednesday. So we went to dinner and went back to the hotel.
Tuesday-We got up at 4:30am to make our train ride to Paris, France. Mom had no clue where we were going until we were boarding. It was funny. She was excited and of course worried about how much it cost. So we spent the day in Paris doing a bus tour and seeing all the major sites. We went up on top of this 59 story building and took pics and watched the Eiffel Tower sparkle. When we came back to our hotel at night, we had to walk through the part of town where a riot had been going on thirty minutes before and our hotel was right off of the street that moulin rouge was on. So we saw dirty shops and places where all the fellas could go in and have a good time. We even saw the harlets in the windows waiting for any guy to come along. haha. it was kinda funny.
Wednesday-Finished up our touring and went to the Louve to see the Mona Lisa and some other famous sculptures and artwork. We did some shopping and ate some crepes'. Then caught our train back to London.
Thursday-Still being knackered from our paris trip, got up around 5:00am to make our bus to Bath. We went there and shopped and saw the Roman Baths and ate at the oldest house in Bath. Walked around and then when we had a couple hours left and nothing to do, we sat in starbucks on the couches and read our books and drank our hot drinks. It was fun.
Friday-We went into London to tour and mom pretty much saw all there was to see. It was fun and we were being so goofy. We were out all day and thought about seeing a musical, but nothing that mom wanted to see was on and so instead of wasting that money, we went to the movies instead haha.
Saturday-All day long we shopped at Oxford Street and mom spent way too much money on me. I told her not to. We at a pub called 'The cock', mom couldn't quit laughing about that. We had a drink and some good food. Then back to more shopping. We finished up the sights mom didn't see or wanted to see again, and then came back to pack for her to go home. We stayed at a hotel near the airport since mom had to be there by 4:30am.
Sunday-Today, took her bright and early to the airport and came home to pack, but went to sleep instead. I now (well not right now) am doing laundry and packing for my next adventure. I am going to Italy for a week starting tonight. Yay and oh no all at hte same time. Then when I get home easter sunday, I turn around that following monday and go on a retreat with the Christian Union here at my University. But the tiredness will be much worth it. I am excited!
Well I had alot to do and sorta little time to do it in. I will post pics soon of mom and I's vaca, and the trip to Italy.
talk to you all in probably two weeks.
