I am home from my long weekend trip to London and Paris and I’m going to start
my Day by Day posts from the trip.
While this trip was for work, I also got a chance to explore both Paris and London a bit more, if only for a short time. I traveled alone this time, which I will be doing more posts in in the coming weeks about, but ultimately realized I much rather would always travel with Nick, if possible.
Traveling without him just wasn’t the same!
On my first day of the trip, I arrived in London around mid day,
freshened up and then headed out to explore.
I wandered through Hyde Park, around Kensington and Chelsea and met up with
We had a fabulous time and chatted like old friends,
despite this being the first time meeting in person.
London was very warm and very crowded during my time there but I got to get all that I needed done as well as take in some sights and enjoy the city.
Headed to London?

Ah I’ve just left London for the summer and everyone seems to be posting about all the great things about the city, you’re all making me miss it so much! Glad to see you’re having such a good time!

It’s so fun seeing London in sunshine-y weather! I spent last semester in London and LOVED it! Unfortunately, it was cloudy and cold much of the time (and I’m a Texas girl, so it was a slight shock to the system!). The V&A is one of my favorites!
Casey Martin says
Yea, it was so sunny and warm… though truthfully, I much prefer the weather cooler and gray (I’m from the Pacific NW) so I was thinking it was too hot the whole time! š

That seems like a work opportunity that many would love! š I never actually travelled alone (I think) – it’s something I would like to give a go eventually, but when it comes down to it, I think I would always want to travel with my boyfriend! I just want to have all these memories to share with him! š

It was really interesting traveling alone… not sure that I’d do it again by choice as I love traveling with my husband and like you said, it’s so fun making all those memories together… but it was enjoyable!
