Welcome to the first day of our first trip to Europe! This is going to be a fun trip! We start our travel day in Portland and travel to London with a layover in Dallas and then visit a bunch of must dos in London.
When we arrive in London, we head to our hotel via the Underground to drop off our bags and check out our room at the Hoxton Holborn. It’s a great room!
We are off to see some sights now, starting with the British Museum, which is a quick walk from our hotel. They have a lot of really cool artifacts on display, like a thorn from Jesus’ crown, actual mummies, one of the Easter Island statues, and the Rosetta stone.
Next is the Natural History Museum. On our way there, we discuss some differences between England and the US. At the museum, there are so many dinosaur displays! Rachel loves dinosaurs, so we really enjoyed it.
The rest of our day is spent at Hyde Park, Harrods, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Thames River, the London Eye, and taking a double decker bus to Piccadilly Circus and the Theater District. To end our very busy first day, we stop by Sainsbury’s for some dinner and a treat and then head back to our room to an anniversary surprise.

We share fun travel stories, travel tips, entertaining travel vlogs of the places we have been, and other info to help make your future trips awesome. The Disney parks are a favorite place of ours, along with anywhere tropical. We want to travel all over the world though, so you’ll see many different types of destinations here. We especially love ecotourism and being adventurous in nature. Saving money and cutting costs where we can, while still doing everything we want to do, is another passion of ours.
