I decided to throw in a mini post amongst all these UK posts...partially because I was falling behind in going through the thousands of photos I took, and partially because it motivated me to keep going a little. I'd have to say that one of my favorite nights this trip was the one I spent… Continue reading The Shard
Brompton Cemetery
There is something so intriguing about cemeteries in a different country... Okay, maybe it's just me. But old cemeteries are so interesting. The ones here in Utah seem so boring in comparison. I mean, the age of the tombstone alone is something to marvel at. Really, in Utah, we don't have any older than the… Continue reading Brompton Cemetery
Kensington
Although Kensington is very tourist-y, I love it. Maybe it's because I'm a tourist, but there are so many wonderful shops, cafes, parks, museums, etc in the area. In the surrounding area alone you have Harrods, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Royal Albert Hall, Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, etc. SO much… Continue reading Kensington
Edinburgh
Just a quick clarification: It's pronounced "ed-in-burr-ah" not "ed-in-berg." Good, I'm glad we got that cleared up (: My last day in Scotland I spent in Edinburgh. There was a bit of a late start to the day, so by the time we got into the heart of the city, it was buzzing with life.… Continue reading Edinburgh

A little story about Finnich Glen: This had been something I had researched months before I made it to the UK. It was… Continue reading Finding the Devil’s Pulpit
Loch Lomond
Out of the many times I have traveled over to the UK, I had never been to Scotland. There has always been so much to occupy my time in England (well...mostly London..there's too much to do!) that I just never got up to the northern part of the island. So when I knew I was… Continue reading Loch Lomond
Healing Field
I'm often told that I'm too young to remember 9/11. This just isn't true. Yes, I may have been young, but that day had a big impact on my life. I remember that day very well. I was getting ready for school, and just as my mom and I were about to leave, my grandma… Continue reading Healing Field
