Trip of a Lifetime.....

All I can tell you is this:

"Trip of a Lifetime!"

I have dreamed ALL of my life of going on a long trip to England.

I had gone to London once.

 But it was only for one day.

Not nearly enough time to fulfill my "dream."

Finally, that day came.

And it was exactly "like falling into a fairytale."

I can tell you this.

At least two times, well maybe three.

 I cried right on the spot.

Not because I was sad really, but......

because I was so overwhelmed by being where I was.

Which was basically happiness.

One day it was sadness though.

(I will expound on that later)
But for the most part...

This was a fabulous trip with no problems at all.

(Heading to Portobello Road to the huge and famous Antique Market)

Portobello Road

Victoria Station

My husband at Kensington Palace

Many times while in London,
 I just wanted to "pinch myself and see if I were dreaming."

At some point you realize...
"It's real."

Then it hit me one day....and hard.

This is when I first cried.

While having lunch

 at

 Kensington Palace.

I had been fine all week....

but something about this place overwhelmed me.

Then 4 American girls came in

and sat down and ordered

"Afternoon Tea."

And then I started to cry.....HA!

I can't explain why...except to say I was glad I was there, and I was glad they were too.

Surreal moment I guess.

Kensington Palace

Yes, we did tour the Palace...

As much as you are allowed to tour of course.

No,

Sadly we did not see these people....

However, we did see this person.

I think he was a

"Royal Gardener."
