LONDON by Savannah Grizzard

Hello, this is Savannah Grizzard. I will be talking about London.

On Wednesday I went with my mom to a concert. It was fun! After the concert, me and Lisa Grizzard had to get back on the tube (subway) to Stratford. We had to walk from the station to our hotel. On the walk, Mommy had to carry me, ‘cause it was cold. When we got to our hotel room, we knocked on the door, and Sawyer answered. Then Sawyer started chatting away about this dumb comedy show he watched while she was at the concert. Then we brushed our teeth, and went to bed. On Thursday, I went to Waterloo. I saw the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Regents Park, and Trafalgar Square. You know what the London Eye is right? Good, Big Ben is a famous clock tower in London. Westminster Abbey is next to it. Abbey Road was not too far away, so we went there. Regents Park is a flower garden. It’s very big. Trafalgar Square has water fountains and lion sculptures. We ate at Garfunkel’s. It was very good. Then we went to the London Eye to ride it, but it was closed. So we went home to the hotel.

On Friday we went to the Tower Bridge, Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and a Lion King play. First we went to St. Paul’s Cathedral .It has too many stairs—more than 500 of them! After that we went to see the Tower of London, and we walked around it to the Tower Bridge. Then we walked back to the tube (subway) to the hotel to clean off. Then we got on the tube again to go to the Lion King play. It was good, but the costumes were a bit cheesy.

On Saturday we went to South Kensington, The British Museum, and the London Eye. First we went to South Kensington, where Lisa Grizzard was taught in a basement. Then we got on the tube (subway) to the British Museum. At the British Museum, they had the Rosetta Stone . It was big. They also had Egyptian, African, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, and a lot of other stuff. Then we got back on the tube (subway) to the London Eye to ride it. We stood in a short line to get our tickets. After we got our tickets, we waited in a line to get to our cart. Our cart number was 32. In fifteen minutes we were at the top. In another fifteen minutes, we were done. Then we went to a tube (subway) stop but it was closed so we got on another line to the hotel.

THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LONDON!

Written by Sawyer Grizzard

Hey Everyone,

This is not Glenn, the guy who has been updating the blog so far. This is Sawyer Grizzard, the cool guy in all the pictures. We have recently gone to London, the capital of the United Kingdom. This is, obviously, what will be written here. So, let’s start with some jokes. So, there are three bandits, who are running from some policemen. The bandits- you probably want me to tell you about London now. So, it started like this: we went to the train station on the bus at about 3:00pm, we got our train tickets to go to London, we got on the train to go to London, we rode on the train to London, we got off the train in London, we went to the subway station in London, we got subway tickets in London- you probably know where we are by now. But, just in case, I’ll remind you. We are in London. So, after that, Savannah and my mom rushed off to a Selena Gomez concert, which is the reason we ended up in London in the first place. My dad and I just hauled the suitcases up to the hotel.

The next day, we went to Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and Abbey Road. If you don’t know what Big Ben is, you should go see a doctor. Trafalgar Square is this place with a bunch of lion statues. Abbey Road is the place where the Beatles recorded a bunch of their songs. If you don’t know who the Beatles are, then you should really see a doctor. We also saw the London Eye. Now, if you don’t know what the London Eye is, the hospital is the place for you. We were going to ride it, but the dang thing closes at 8:00, and it was about 8:01 when we got to it. So, that’s the end of that day.

On Friday, we went to St. Paul’s Cathedral. St. Paul’s Cathedral is this church thing. It is very famous, apparently. It’s really cool, and it’s really tall, but you can’t get to the top without climbing a zillion stairs. So after that, we were all pooped. Then we ate lunch, and after that we walked around the Tower of London and across the Tower Bridge. After that we went to the hotel, changed into fancy clothes (NOT my idea!), ate dinner, and then went to this Lion King musical. It was good, but the costumes were horrible. Ex: Simba’s costume was just a lion hat and a tail tied to some guy’s butt (He had other clothes on, of course). That was Friday.

On Saturday, we went to South Kensington, which is where my mom went to school when she was over here, The British Museum, which is a British museum. And to end it all, we did the London Eye. It was really cool. And that, was the trip to London.

THE END
