Hampton Court

Today the whole crew went to Hampton Court, the English palace of Henry the VIII meant to rival Versailles. Throughout the palace grounds there were tour guides, dressed in period clothing, that would give information on various parts of the palace. It was a great opportunity for us all to sketch and take in several periods of architecture.

Westminster Abbey!

So after our first night sleep in our awesome hotel, we have started our second day in the city. First we went to Westminster Abbey.

This is the famous Rose Window of the Abbey, gorgeous stained glass! All of the coronations of the Royal Family have been held in this abbey. More recently, Princess Diana's funeral service was held here. Also, many previous Kings and Queen are buried here.

First Day In London!



We're finally here! After months and months of waiting, we have finally arrived! I'm sure you all are asking, what could possibly happen to make it the BEST day in London EVER? Well, we saw the QUEEN HERSELF. Yup! Her majesty, just chillin' in her auto probably 10 feet from us all. Don't believe us?

Well there you go ladies and gents!


For our first day, we basically checked out the city. We saw Big Ben, Buckingham Palace (where we saw her majesty), Trafalgar Square, and several other London hot spots.
Here we all are, looking a little wind blown in front of Big Ben. The touring the city was great, and our trip has truly just begun!
