I hear I may be spending an evening at this fabulous place pictured below. Cue my excitement and I may or may not faint upon arrival.
Highclere Castle (a.k.a. Downton Abbey) Source |
Any other must-see locations in London while I am away? We are seeing all the major sights, but anything off the beaten path I shouldn't miss? Let me know. It's my first time visiting England.
More importantly, here are the books I am bringing for the flight/trip. I like to have a lot of options! Being the mom of a very, VERY active toddler, the idea of sitting for 6+ hours on a flight and possibly reading a book (even if it's on a red-eye) sounds very appealing.
I'll be sure to share pictures and my experiences when I come back. If interested, check out my Instagram and Twitter while I am away. I'll be updating as much as possible and sharing my adventures. I hope you guys have a great week and thanks for visiting!
So excited for you! And I admit, a little jealous :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get to see Highclere Castle! I can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get back.
Highclere Castle was one of the highlights of the trip! I will definitely write up a post on it! Thanks for visiting, Christina!
DeleteOh my goodness, I'm so excited for you -- and jealous, I'll admit! I love, love, love England and have visited London three times, but I can't get enough. I'm dying to go back with my husband (will be his first time there), but I don't think that will be in the cards for a bit!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best meals we had was at the Sherlock Holmes, not far from Trafalgar Square (also one of my favorite spots!), and I basically just loved taking the tube anywhere and everywhere. Covent Garden is a really fun place to wander around, and all the highlights -- the London Eye; Big Ben; Hyde Park -- are more than worth visiting.
Have the best time!
We loved the tube as well, Meg! So easy to use and great to get around in. I loved the London Eye, Big Ben and I didn't get to see Covent Garden, so next time! This was a short trip. Thank you for your feedback and for visiting!
DeleteYay! So excited for you. I can't wait to hear about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda! :)
DeleteOMG England!? That explains the gorgeous picture you posted today. SOOOOOO exciting! Have fun. I can't wait to see more pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Juju! :)
DeleteI adore London! If you get the chance, the walk from The London Eye to the Tate museum is amazing! You're next to the river and you get to see all the graffiti artists working and what not, it's pretty cool if you're into that sort of weird scene! Also, go see a show on the West End if you can fit it in. The caliber of talent is amazing! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteWe did that walk, Christianna! It was awesome! Love London! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWhoa! England? Downton Abbey? For free? *faints* That's amazing! I look forward to hearing all about it when you get back, hopefully with lots of photographs. It WOULD be just my timing to visit you for the first time (thanks for dropping by TMG!) only to have you be gone, hah.

I will definitely write up a post on my experience at Downton. It was surreal! Thanks for visiting, Wendy. :)
DeleteHave a fantastic time in London, Christina! I can't wait to hear all about your trip! Enjoy Compulsion too. I am so excited to read that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leanna! :) I just started Compulsion on the way back to the states….off to a good start! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI hope you have an amazing time, Christina, and take lots of pictures to show us! I will live vicariously... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) I will definitely write up a few posts! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteLUCKY YOU!!!!!! Have the most amazing time Christina! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back:)
