More London

Second time in London was nice. We met with more friends and played around in Regent's Park. We ate near St. Paul's Cathedral. The Science Museum was the best ever. They had a really fun Wallace and Gromit interactive exhibit. We also watched a 3D Imax movie. Shakespeare's Globe Theater was cool. The original burned down in a fire. The last thing we saw was the Tower Bridge. We had a great view. Next stop: Home

Harry Potter

I had a great time seeing Harry Potter sites. We went to Oxford to see the steps where Mrs. McGonagall met the 1st years in movie number 1. Also, the banquet hall is based on the dining hall there. In London, we saw the place where the Leaky Cauldron scenes were filmed in numbers 1 and 3. The spot was different in each movie. We went to King's Cross Station to see platform 9 3/4. It was not actually filmed at platform 9, but at platform 4. In the 6th movie, coming out this summer, Death Eaters destroy Millenium Bridge on the Thames (pronounced Tims) River. We also went to the place that Grimmauld Place was based on. We went to many more cool Harry Potter sights too! I can not believe it is almost time to go home.

England

England was so much fun! We went to Hampton Court Palace, which was owned by King Henry VIII. There was a giant hedge maze and many awesome rooms. Then, we went to Stonehenge. It is a mystical rock arrangement. Some people (like Carson) think they were dancing giants, turned to stone by aliens. Lastly, we went to Legoland Windsor. There were so many fun rides and shows all based on legos. It was too fun to express! I can not believe we are almost done.
