Europe Trip :)




Sorry it has taken so long to post, we have been crazy busy!! So, here we go:

Europe Trip!
Stan, Mom, Rachel, and I were able to go to Europe for 10 days and explore (back in July). It was such an amazing experience, I am so grateful that we were given the opportunity to go! We started in London (saw the Tower of London, rode on the London Eye, saw Kensington & Buckingham Palace, saw HARRY POTTER in Imax, saw Big Ben/Houses of Parliament, and Shakespeare's Globe Theater). It poured a couple times while we were there, but that's ok.

After London, we went to Paris- I decided that at some point in my life I absolutely must learn French! We had some of the most amazing food there (including french bread, pastries, sandwiches, chocolates, and ice cream :) ). We saw the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame,and the Louvre.


Next was Spain! Stan & I loved practicing our Spanish :) We went to the Palacio Real, went shopping, and saw an amazing Flamenco show! It was amazing how fast they move & tap their feet along to the music. It was also weird that it wouldn't get dark until almost 10 PM so it was really easy to lose track of the time!


We spent one day in Ireland- it was really green and pretty! It was so hard to understand some of the people who had really thick accents, but everyone we met was really nice haha.
