My Trip to England

     This past summer, I had the privilege to fly myself to England. I stayed there with my friend Chris Hedgecock and his family for three weeks. I had never flown out of the United States before; I was quite excited to see what a part of Europe looked like. Getting to see my best friend was also quite thrilling. We did lots of tourist things while I was there. They took me to Arundel castle first. I had never seen a real castle in my life, thus I was very enthused to tour the magnificent and historical castle. A couple of days after that, the Hedgecock family took me to see Legoland. It was an amusement park based around legos. Almost everything was built out of legos. I am sure it would have been a lot more fun if I was a toddler, but I made the most of it and had fun there. Near the end of my second week there, Chris and his mother took me to London by train. We went on the London Eye when we arrived there, and seeing Big Ben was astonishing. After spending a night in the city, we toured around different parts of London. I could not get enough of how incredible it was there. When we got back home, Chris took me out with his friends and we went to celebrate for his birthday. It was extremely fun considering the drinking age in England is eighteen. The third week I was there, my old winter guard instructor, Becky, invited me to look around Brighton with her. Since she is from Brighton, she showed me around the city and took me into a palace. The palace was made for a prince and it was astounding. It was just as cool as the castle but more beautiful and detailed. It was nice catching up with her, but then had to travel back by train to Chris’s house. I will never forget the incredible times I had in England. It was the best trip I ever had. I always wish I could go back since I miss it there so much. I made so many friends and created so many memories. Maybe someday I’ll be lucky enough to revisit.
