We are home and I have a lot of photos to share

On Saturday Mama, Daddy and I arrived home from London. I had such a wonderful time on the trip, the more I travel, the more I want to.

The Queen Mary 2 was wonderful, I really liked exploring the ship, meeting other kids from around the world, and having tea in the afternoons.

England was also so fun, we went out to the English countryside where we explored the Cotswolds. We stayed in a thatched roof cottage right near a grave yard!

I have made an album with all my photos, here is is: QM2 and England Album Here are a few photos of my wonderful trip, I can't wait to hear what you think!

I loved looking out to sea, even when it was cloudy and foggy it was very beautiful.
My favorite thing on the ship was 'high tea' every day at 3:30. We got tea, scones, cakes and finger sandwiches.

Once we were in London I visited Big Ben (Big Ben is the clock, not the tower).

And we went to Lacock Abbey where the Harry Potter movies were filmed, it was just like seeing Hogwarts!
Here I am in Notton, a small Cotswolds town. Notice the honey colored stone. It is beautiful.

We are in England!

We are here! It is so pretty, every day so far in London has been sunny and warm. There are even blue skies.

We are leaving for the country right now, which means we will be near Hogwarts. I will keep my eyes peeled for Harry!

The sailing on the Queen Mary 2 was so fun. I saw dolphins on the last day, they were jumping out of the ocean. I also went swimming on the top deck of the ship and went to high tea one day.

I can't wait to share photos!

Bye bye!

Queen Mary 2

Tonight, tonight, tonight we leave! I don't usually get to stay up late, but tonight at midnight we start our trip. My Mama, Daddy and I are traveling on the Queen Mary 2 across the ocean to England. We will be gone for two weeks!

I am very very excited about England, I have never been.

I am also very excited to sail on the Queen Mary 2, it is a huge ship, larger than the Titanic. Daddy has always loved ocean liners, and this is a dream come true for him.

Here is a picture showing the Queen Mary 2 compared to the Titanic (the Titanic is black, the QM2 is white). Big huh?

I will post all about my trip once I return, until then, Bon Voyage!

I'm going to Hogwarts!


I have been so excited for my trip to England because I want to meet Harry Potter. Also, we are taking a ship across the ocean, just like Samantha does!

But today the best news came, we are going to Hogwarts! There are two castles in England that we might go to, Warwick Castle and Kenilworth. I think the both might be Hogwarts. I know that muggles can't see Hogwarts as a school, just an old castle.

Well I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for Harry, Ron, and Hermione!

The photo above is of Warwick Castle, looks like it might be Hogwarts, huh?
