September 19th
So, today was the day I have been looking forward to for months! I know that some of you are a little envious that I got to meet Georgina. You should be! She is amazing, and gorgeous, and talented, and so kind and we were so happy she was willing to spend her Birthday showing us around. Her mother Kay was also so delightful! The day sped by way too fast. . . my mom, aunt 
and I got a little teary eyed as we said our goodbyes. Its sad when you make new friends who live half a world away! Deb said it best when she said "it feels like we have known them all or our lives."
So, anyway we met Georgina and her Mom at Hampton Court. This palace is most famously remembered as the court of King Henry the eighth. (Yes, the dude who divorced and killed off his wives for not giving him sons.) It was breathe 
taking, and we had a beautifully clear day for our visit! Georgina and Kay were perfect tour guides. Honestly, they should start charging for tours. They would make a fortune! Not only did they educate us on the lives of Tudor reign, we also pummeled them with question after question on British culture. We compared differences between American and English words and 
customs, and watched them laugh with embarrassment as my mother kept saying "Ding Dong" over and over! (Sorry G!) 
The highlights of the day was having scones and tea at the café, the hedge maze and the gardens. Oh my gosh, the gardens!!! They were so beautiful it made me wonder if it was actually possible that I could be standing in such a place! At times like these I a
lways get the impression that God has made this world as an enchanting playground just for us to explore! Its meant to be enjoyed and appreciated! We defiantly did a lot of enjoying and appreciating today!So, tomorrow we move on from London. It always makes me sad to leave London. . . I love this city. But tomorrow we will be staying on the beach! We will me in Weymouth for one night and then we catch the fairy to Guernsey. Can’t wait to get to the island!
Thanks Georgina and Kay for such a great day!
