Feb 14. - Yesterday I had my first experience at high tea at Claridge's (courtesy of Laura's dad). It was amazing!! We had champagne, sandwiches, scones, pasteries, and of course tea! Claridge's is a very swanky hotel, so we got all dressed up and it was a great way to celebrate Valentine's!

Feb. 15 - This morning Whitney and I arrived at Buckingham at around 10:45 to see the changing of the guard. Thanks to a previous tour guide, we knew exactly where to stand in order to get some great pictures. It was so neat to see the guards, the band, and the horses. It was quite chilly this morning, but it was worth standing outside to see! Afterwards we went to Harrod's since I hadn't been there yet. There's so much to do! The food halls and chocolate shops are especially impressive!

This afternoon Laura, Whitney, and I went to Kensington Gardens to find the statue of Peter Pan. It took a while to find and but we were successful! Afterwards we went to a bakery to eat cupcakes, which were delicious!
