we walked and walked and walked and walked.

Can you believe that October is almost over? Holy moly this is insane. 

I do love October, and of course, like with any month, there are pros and cons to it's passing—many things I will miss about October, but am definitely looking forward to SO much in November! 

{things like Wales, Scotland, and Brussels}

Anyways, like most of you know, my parents were in London for a few days this weekend! I made a little insanely jam-packed, OCD-esque itinerary since they weren't here for long.

 I wanted them to see everything, regardless of the time they were in London.

That meant we {speed} walked a lot everywhere, took few bathroom or sit-down-and-relax breaks, and honestly never stopped being busy. We woke up around 6 or 6:30 every morning, and were out until 10 or 11 pm. The intensity of this trip is comparable to the intensity of our Disneyland trips. 

{And some of you know—our Disneyland trips are very intense}

My parents really enjoyed London, and I think they truly appreciate my minute-by-minute planning skills. I had to get it from one of them, right? They would not have seen so much if it weren't for the schedule! ;)

Here are a few photos from the weekend!

My parents LOVED Vapianos—we went there twice!

The escalator on the Tube...one place where we slowed our walking down

Billy Elliot was amazing!

Afternoon tea at Harrods

The Icebar!

The London Eye—it was soooo foggy, and we saw nothing. Haha

Traditional fish and chips at a local British pub!

It was a great weekend, and I had lots of fun showing them around everywhere! The trip was way too short, but

 I just am so blessed that they were able to come at all! 

On another note: how does everyone feel about Taylor Swift's new album? I am listening to it as I write, and I don't really love any song, except

 "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

I am sure the songs will all grow on me eventually, though. At least I hope so!

I found this on Pinterest {duh, where else?} and it's pretty hilarious...

Be on the lookout for an update on my Paris trip after this weekend!
