Tuesday- London- June 12

Seriously, that was LOUD
Don't Jump!
There were some tight spaces at the top of the tower!! Look at the view! we were so high up!

I love this playgroud!! We raced around on the zipline!

Eating a real english breakfast!

Mikelle and I at Haddon Hall
Look I am tall enough!


Well today was awesome!! We took a way early morning train to Wilton house, where the grand Duke lives…he is 29 and single!! A couple of the girls claim that they saw him eating breakfast….either way he is soon to be engaged. Well we got there we were welcomed with pastries and sparkling lemonade. That was really quite fun. Then we toured the house, that was ok…but the best part, was the playground. And no, I am not kidding…this thing was insane!! We all played on this thing for about an hour. It had a trampoline, zip cord, the most amazing slides, te-ter-ta-der, spin discs, tire swings, boat swings…and I didn’t even get to see the other part of the park. Those royal kids are such brats!! They get everything. After this we went to the Salisbury Cathedral. At first it just seemed like another cathedral, but we got a special tour. We got to go inside the tower and make the climb to the top. It was about 332 stairs up. Most of it was winding little passage ways. Once we finally got towards the top, the bell went off. Talk about feeling the ring in your bones. It even scared the tour guide. At the every top he opened the tower doors and we shimmied around the side, for one of the most amazing views of England. It is so green here; reminds me a lot of the northwest. The weather here is very similar…overcast, cooler and threats of rain, but it is beautiful. After our “hike” we went out for Italian (like every night) and ended up getting home around 11pm…long day, but really fun. We rode the train home, I slept like a little lamb.
