RECAPS OF DAYS ONE AND TWO:
Here are the last pictures of England. I have to say England was a very nice place, it was a lot easier there because there was no language barrier. Everything looks old and historical, a lot older than anything we have here in the US. I kept thinking Harry Potter or something....I don't know why? But it did sort of remind me of the setting of Harry Potter is some spots! Ha ha!
Someone commented on travel suggestions and traveling on a budget. BTW- Thank you all for your sweet comments on all the photos and our travel adventures! I have the best blog friends and I feel like I "know" you all....does that make me sound crazy?
Well, I don't really have many suggestions. We did our trip on a tight budget. Our airfare was free because we used miles and we pay our bills that way. We never carry a balance over. We had free places to stay in England and Paris because Terence has cousins that live in both places right now. We were very fortunate in that regard. So all we really paid for on this trip was food and spending money.
It was go go go from the time we landed. We tried to fit in as much as possible in a short about of time. I would suggest getting public transportation tickets for the entire week and buying in advance because it's cheaper and will save you money. You can ride the bus or train and it's much cheaper than taking a taxi.
Also- Don't eat meals by major tourist areas and landmarks. The food is higher because they know it's where tourists are and they get hungry. Find places to eat off the grid and enjoy!
Okay now for part three of our adventures :-)

Now that is a cross bow!
Off with your head!
We then headed to Brighton. This was probably my favorite place to visit. It's right by the shore and it was such a cute little town. It's also where Adelle just bought a new home...but she was nowhere in sight. Waaaahhh!

Harry Potter is from England, his Aunt and Uncle live just outside of London. He had to travel to London (King's Cross Station) in order to take the train to Hogwarts, so you weren't off in being reminded of him there :)
Looking forward to Paris!

We're headed back to London in just 2 weeks. We've done London several times and were considering a trip to the coast. Brighton was one of our possibilities, so I am so glad to see your pictures!! Do you remember the name of that cupcake place? That looks awesome! Love the pier! My kids would love that!
