Jubilee Weekend: Monday and Tuesday




Yesterday was the 3rd day of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. As a group we all went to Greenwich and saw the Painted Hall, The Queen’s House and Greenwich Market.  The area around there was so cute and I definitely must take another trip to the market.  Emily, Logan and I went to dinner near the water at Nando’s.  Later on in the night we all went to Hyde Park to watch the Queen’s Jubilee concert on giant screens.  There were so many people in Hyde Park and everyone was so excited to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.

Today we went to Hampton Court, where Henry VIII and his several wives lived.  We got to wear either green or red cloaks as we ventured through the palace.  We saw the kitchens, apartments ( which were rooms covered in tapestries), and several other painted rooms and exhibits.  The garden in the back with the fountain was absolutely beautiful as was the rose garden. 

After leaving Hampton Court I went over to Fortnum & Mason with Erin, Logan, Karen, Sarah, Nicole and Ayana.  The store is gorgeous inside and out.  There were so many nice items and lots having to do with tea.  I got my mom the perfect gift. After that we went to Harrods which was like Macy’s in Herald Square.  There were too many people inside we could barely move.  I need to go back on a week day with far less people.
