Westminster Abbey. Arguably the most infamous church in the entire world and reasonably so. This church is a spectacle to look at. The old english architecture is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a building. I’d imagine it’s what drugs would look like if it were a building, it’s that crazy to look at. I …

Westminster Abbey and Dead People
I have been waiting this whole trip for Westminster Abbey. I might not know a lot about architecture, but boy do I love me a dramatic gothic structure. I was under the impression we were not allowed to take pictures in most of the locations, but found that photography was allowed as long as there …
Much Ado About Nothing and Shakespeare’s Globe!
One of the things I was most excited for was getting to experience Shakespeare’s Globe here in London. The icing on the cake is the fact that I got to experience Much Ado About Nothing, my all time favorite play of Shakespeares. I have auditioned several times now with Beatrice’s monologue and can recite it …

I Cried in the Bath
I think that I have quite possibly lived the best 24 hours of my life. I got to see Tom Holland as Romeo and have afternoon tea in the Roman Bath House all within the last couple days of this trip. Unfortunately, I have experienced these high highs followed by a pretty low low as …
Spies, Allies, and a Dead Body.
Can you keep a secret? This show was something 11 year old Kaylee would have gone absolutely crazy for. I went through an obsession with spies and would only read fiction books about teenage girls who were completely badass spies. This musical, however, is based on a real story! As crazy as it seems, Operation …

When I saw on our itinerary that we were seeing London Tide at the National Theatre, I was dreading the thought of sitting through a three and a half hour play adapted from a Charles Dickens novel I had never heard of. However, once the show began and the actors all climbed up from under …

Roll Tide (London version)
On the 4th night of our London trip, we had the pleasure of watching “London Tide”, an adaptation of “Our Mutual Friend” by Charles Dickens. This has been the second show we have watched at the National Theater and we had amazing seats this time around. London Tide deals with important themes in today’s world …
I Took a Raven From the Tower of London
It is said that the kingdom and the Tower of London will fall if the six resident ravens ever leave the fortress. That being said, my little raven Edgar really wanted to see the world, so I put him in my bag and walked out the gate. If the Tower falls tomorrow, don’t tell anyone …
Towers and Ravens and Prisoners, Oh My!
Whew! Today we were on our way at 9am. The roomies and I stopped to get coffee at Bloomsbury Coffee Co! It was delicious and the server was incredibly kind. I got called love. How cute! The big thing on our to do list today was the Tower of London. Upon first walking up, the …
Chuga Chuga TUBE TUBE!!
Here I am, writing this blog post from the comfort of my bed. And lemme tell you, I just took the best nap, maybe of my entire life. Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t nap, but when you’re a severely jet lagged American like me, you gotta do what you gotta do. Now …
