My Holiday

I'm sorry everybody that I haven't posted in a while. I was on my vacation in London and York. In London I got to ride the London Eye. I also got to go to the Movie Museum. I also got to have High Tea one day. There I drank English Breakfast Tea. It was the first time I tried it and I have been drinking it ever since. I love it! Also when I was at High Tea, I had some scones. Biscuits are called scones. I also had some finger sandwiches. They were good, but I didn't really eat them. The salmon was kind of tasty. I got to have this little chocolate cake and it was very very tasty. High Tea was very good. We got to sit by a big bookshelf with an old typewriter in it. It reminded me of Kit Kittredge.

After that, I went to the Tower of London and saw The Crown Jewels. It was very cool. We got to go to the dungeon of the Tower where you walk down steep stairs into shallow water. There is coins in the water. We also got to go into this place where they kept two young princes. No one knows what happened to them but it is said that two small skeletons were found in the bloody tower a few years afterwards.

We went on a train to York. Not New York, but York in Yorkshire England. We got to see the famous train museum. Then we went into a time machine and it shook to go back into time. There we saw people wearing old time clothes. Then we went too far back in time and were in the year 866 A.D and then we went to 900 something A.D. where we got to see what the Vikings did. It was cool. We also got to ride on a Merri-Go-Round and after that I got to ride a big giant slide where I sat on a floor mat to slide down. Bubby got to ride a train in circles. He was the driver.

When we got home to Aberdeen I got to open my moving boxes of toys. I also got some letters from two friends in America, Robbyn and Kameron. I still have to write to them and I am going to soon!

When we got home, I met my next door neighbors and made a new friend, named Mia. She is from Ireland. She has two brothers and one sister. Her brother's names are Phinn and Josh. Her sister's name is Sophie. We have fun playing together. Sophie is about the same size as my sister, Sadie.

Today, I had my first day back at school. It was fun. This will be my first full week of school here. I'll be blogging again soon! Bye- Aubrey
