SEE: BRITISH MUSEUM

8 Dec 2013

Thursday, I ventured out to the British Museum. I heard that there were mummies at this museum and anyone who knows me, knows how much I love mummies... Well, maybe that's not true, but I seriously love mummies-- and aliens for that matter! 

I absolutely LOVED the British Museum. I didn't have any expectation for the museum since I didn't do any research beforehand, but I was thrilled to find out that it wasn't just a museum about Britain, it was a museum about the world! 

The museum is separated into countries and/or regions: Africa, Americas, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Rome, Asia (GO EK!), Europe and the Middle East. I am VERY proud to say that I walked through the entire museum minus three rooms that were closed. The 4.5 hours I spent in the museum flew by, even though it was very crowded, it was a very peaceful place.  I would definitely recommend putting this on the travel itinerary if you come visit. I plan on going again with James in a few months to catch things I didn't see the first time!

SEE: HARRY POTTER PLATFORM 9 3/4

While researching bucket list material earlier this week, I came across a blurb about the Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter. I was very excited to find out that it was located within walking distance of our flat, so I quickly freshed-up and headed out that way.  All the reviews of Platform 9 3/4 said to be ready for a long wait, but it must have been fate, because when I showed up, I was the only one there. How awesome is that?!
see, no line!

FLASHMOB VIDEO

I finally found a video of the flash mob I participated in a month ago, and let me say, it's hilarious! I can't find myself in the video since I was in the back-left corner (upper-right on the screen), but you do see me walk across the courtyard at the very end. SHOCKER, I'm basically wearing all black. It's a pretty long video so get comfortable. The first half is the dance studio performing and then crowd joins in about 1:46.

Enjoy!

OH, CHRISTMAS TREE

Meet Jolly. At about 3.5 feet (tall&wide), he is destined to put a smile on your face!
