My seamstress converted the Magic Kingdom halter dress to straps for me. It worked great.

Do the Trader Sam dresses and shirts match well?

March 16 The end of our trip was here. We woke up early and dragged our bags downstairs to catch the car we had prearranged to pick us up and take us to Gatwick. The trip was uneventful. Check-in was fine. There were a few hiccups while we tried to do the self serve check-in. But, we made it...

March 15 This was our last full day of vacation! After a lovely hotel breakfast we headed off for some sightseeing. Specifically, the Tower of London. We took the tube there and made our way over to the castle. I finally had the opportunity to use a pay toilet in England! It cost a pound but...

March 14 I woke up before my alarm went off. DH and DD stayed and slept in while I took a taxi to the train station. The message had been from King’s Cross, so I headed there. I found the lost items area with a little help from Information. The man there looked for me. He couldn’t find it! I...

March 13 Well, I set the alarm for 7:30 p.m. not a.m. so the kid woke us up at 8:30. DD and DH got dressed and I sent them off to ride Crush. I stayed behind to pack. I also grabbed some pastries from the lounge and kept them in the room while I waited for my family to come back. They were gone...

March 12 In the morning we had breakfast in the lounge. It was tasty. Not as busy as I expected it to be. After eating, we headed over to the Studios for extra magic hours. I love the covered entrance. It’s really brilliant and helps set the mood. We immediately went to ride Crush. This was...

March 11 We slept in on Monday. I had booked a car to take us to Disneyland Paris. I had sent a confirmation email on Saturday but apparently it never went through. As a result, the car never came. And he was very rude about me not responding to a WhatsApp message he had sent me. I don’t have...

March 10 This was my most disappointing day. We booked a tour of Versailles through Paris City Vision. https://www.pariscityvision.com/en/versailles-morning-minibus-tour We had to indicate the language we wanted the receive the tour in. They picked us up at our hotel on the dot at 8 a.m. Then...

March 9 We ate breakfast at the hotel. Then I met a representative from LaveyLivrey in our hotel. He took our dirty laundry and returned it several hours later. The concierge brought it to our room an left it for us while we were out being tourists. LaveyLivrey was awesome!!! We had booked a...

If you can get a tour, do it! It is far more interesting. And lines are bad! They really limit the number of people that can be in at a time. There is even a counter at the entrance and exit!

March 8 Our hotel offered a free breakfast with our room so we ate there. They had quite the spread. It was very French with egg, meats and cheese. Around 10:30 or so we took an Uber to the Catacombs. We walked around outside and then had an early lunch at Cafe du Rendez-vous. Croque...

March 7 In the morning I sent the family down for breakfast while I got us all packed up for the French portion of our trip. In such a small room, I needed all the space I could get! We took a taxi from our hotel to St. Pancreas station. It was super easy to find the Eurostar. The check in...

March 6 Today the plan went right out the window. We were supposed to visit The Tower of London but my family had other plans. The kid wanted to sleep. And then she wanted to shop. So, that is what we did. Before we headed off, we topped up our Oyster cards. Discovered that we could have saved...

More Stonehenge photos! We didn't touch any of the stones. That isn't allowed. But we did get very, very close.

After Lalock, we headed for Bath. We got to do a self guided tour of the Roman Baths and Pump room. Then we had time for a light lunch and some even lighter shopping. Awesome window display. The boxes go up and down. Very Harry Potter. And then we were off to the main attraction...

March 5 We got to sleep in on Tuesday! Not too much but later than 8! After breakfast (at the hotel) we headed back to the Golden Tour offices. We got to get in a much pleasanter line today. We, and 9 other people, were signed up for the Stonehenge Inner Circle Tour. Normally they have at least...

Photo dump! Fun store in Victoria Station called Neon Sheep. Fallen Lego soldier in Hamley's. Not sure if it was an accident or not. Hey, Coke counts as a vegetable in the UK. Crazy Disney shoes at DD bored at the shoe store. The two crazy pairs of shoes I bought. DH and...

March 4 Another day where we followed “the plan.” We got up around 7:30 and had breakfast at the hotel. Then we walked over to the Golden Tour office. We joined this massive line to go to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour. It was a bit of a zoo. But we got our tickets, and boarded the bus. They...

Pictured above: Our ticket to the tour. No crowds at the British Museum before it opens. A recreation of the Rosetta stone that you can touch. A creepy baby mask with the eyes cut out. We woke up around 7:30 a.m. We got up early, not because we were super rested. We got up early because we had...
