Kensington Gardens is right across the street from where I live, so after dinner its now tradition to go and get some gelato and eat it in the park near the pond. It is a perfect way to enjoy a lazy summer night in London!
Stonehenge was very mystical and not as big as I thought it was going to be, but every picture you take there turns out perfect because of the great monument standing in the background
The Roman Baths are in Bath...duh! This is where ancient Romans found a hot spring running right through the middle of their city. They built a temple and baths around it to make an ancient swimming pool. People say that there are good minerals in the water that is good for your body. I tasted it and... it was hot and tasted like lead. I would not recommend drinking the water!
So this ones for my dad! Wimbolden was happening just a week ago and a few of us decided to go down and see if we could even get in. Not only did we get in but we traded our tickets in for an extra 5 pounds and got to go into Centre Court and see Serena Williams play. It was the coolest thing ever!
Tower of London is really cool and is where all the executions were held in London remember Ann Boylnn.. yep she got beheaded here. Along with that this is where the crown jewels are held, it was very intersting to see how much expensive crowns are held here and who wore them!
The British Museum is full of artifacts from around the world including the Rosetta Stone
Crystal Skull
and mummies from Egypt! I will try to update again soon, I am very busy and there is always something to do in this big city. But I wouldn't want to be spending my summer anywhere else!

Looks like tons of fun! I am jealous. I am trying to have just as much fun in Washington D.C. --> Maybe we can switch lives for a week and see the sites in each other's hoods and then come back. What do you say? Loving the updates.... hope to see you soon!

Hilary,
It looks and sounds like you are having an incredible experience. One that you will cherish forever. Isn't it amazing the history in Europe? Stay safe and enjoy every minute, cause it is going to go by fast.
I bet Morgan is bored without you. But next time if you take her take me too okay? It seriously looks like so much fun so I'm just going to live vicariously through you. Deal? Deal.
