Later today, I am taking my momma (Honey) to London and Paris for 7 days! SURPRISE!
Honey is from England (Cambridge to be exact) and I can't tell you how excited I am to take her back. She hasn't been back to Cambridge in 12 years! And, she's never been to Paris.
We fly out this afternoon, landing in London on Friday morning. I've made reservations for us to have Afternoon Tea at the London Hilton hotel. It's a Confessions of a Chocoholics tea, where everything they'll serve has chocolate in it or on it.
Also during the trip, I want to take Honey to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Worlds greatest museum of art and design. I love love love this museum and can't wait to see all the fashion pieces! (Plus, it's free to visit!)
On Sunday, we'll take a day trip to Cambridge and March to visit where Honey was born as well! Luckily, I have a friend getting his Master's degree in Cambridge, so I'm hoping we'll be able to visit over a cup of tea!
I also hope to make it to the Theater while we're there (I've heard the Book of Mormon is great), as well as one of my favorite stores, Harrods!
On Monday, we are taking the Speed Train to Paris. I am excited about this because it goes under the English Channel---getting us to Paris in just 2 hours!
Once in Paris, I plan on showing Honey the Champs Elysees, the Museum Orsay, and one of my favorite places to view the Eiffel Tower, Trocadero.
I can't wait to share all the details with you once we return! Au revoir!

Have a great trip, Amelia! I'm sure your mom will love it -- especially with you as a tour guide! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful, Amelia! Our daughter's (Jennika's) in-laws are John and Andrea Irvine. John served as Dean of Coventry Cathedral for 11 years and he has recently moved to Cambridge to become Associate Vicar at Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge, which he describes as a "large and lively city centre church were he and Andrea ("Andy") are ministering to many students. If you and your Mom want to attend church on Sunday in Cambridge or just go there to pray, then Holy Trinity looks like an inspiring, youthful "full of love and life" kind of place. I will message you with more details. Love from Sue and Ken in Houston. Have a great trip and cheerio!
