So yesterday we got up at 4:40am to go Abbey Road (the place where the Beatles did their famous ablum cover). We had to go that early because we had to walk across it ans we couldn't when it was busy with a bunch of cars. Long story short, the tube wasn't open that early so we took a random bus that dropped us off far away, we walked for close to an hour trying to find it, walked up and down the street a couple times and then finally found it.
It was kind of hard to take the pictures because we would run out in the middle of the road, take 2 pictures, see a car coming and then run to the sidewalk. Below are our attempts to recreate it. We tried a couple of times. For not being men and in suits, I think we did a pretty decent job! Recreate Beatles ablum cover...check!
We then wrote on the "Beatles Wall" where everyone signs to say they have been there and to thank the Beatles for their work. Personally, I am not a huge Beatles fan, but I decided to sign anyways.
We finally made it back at about 8am and so we all...went back to bed. I then got up a little later and Kristen and I decided to go on an adventure. We first headed to Camden Market, which was fun as it had a lot of souviner things and other funky clothes.
We went shopping in these little tents and let me tell you...the people who own them are CREEPY! They some how always know we are from the states, which is apparently really cool I here. One guy came up close to me and said, "You have very pretty eyes!". (I have got that a lot here...what is up?)
It then started to rain and so we headed back to the tube (got lost a little) and then headed to a few museums. Now, I am not a big museum person but these ones sounded really interesting:We first went to the Natural History Museum. It was filled with animal exhibits, deep sea, about the human body, all about the earth and everything else. The exhibits were awesome and Kristen and I felt like such dorks for thinking everything was so cool. Here are some pics.
Ice Age 2, anyone??? "The Last Melon!"
Here I am calling the Coral Reef!
Seeing this scorpion made me feel like I was home! Gotta love AZ!
I had to take this picture because it reminded me of Night At The Museum! Favorite Movie Ever!We then went to the place that it said we had to go on our tourguide books. It was a room that let you feel as though you were in an earthquake. We were so excited to go...but it was actually quite lame and a let down. Nothing really moved, the floor just kind of shifted...sad. I may have exaggerated my face a little!
We then headed to the gift shop and found the best things ever! Have you ever seen a lollipop with this saying on it before? I don't think so!
We then went to the Science Museum which was really cool, though we didn't have a lot of time to spend there. There were a lot of cool hands on things to do! If I have a chance I might go back! We then went back to the center, rounded up some girls and went out to dinner...and crashed from exhaustion!Night!
"Yesterday" sounded fun. Glad you were able to find "The Long and Winding Road." Did you also find "Penny Lane" while you were out and about? Glad your friends could "Come Together" and help you recreate the album. Were sure you said, "With a Little Help From My Friends," I could take a cool picture. You looked beautiful in your "Yellow Submarine" of a sweater. It looks like you had "A Hard Days Night" and were exhausted by the end of the day. Get your rest so you can "Let it Be" a wonderful experience. By the way Dad says..."And I Love Her." How can you not be a Beatles fan. Such great songs. "All you need is love," and you have ours!

Very clever, that mom of yours. I couldn't have said it any better. About the eyes. You know Aubs, if you stopped winking at the men, maybe they'd stop creeping at you. J/K Somethings are like an avalanche, you just can't stop it. Pretty eyes are hard to ignore. End of story. I guess you can thank your mom for that when you get back.
