Her third day here we went over to campus. I wanted her to see where it is I am going to school...and where all that money is going. It's such a different campus from NC State, but I like it. She seemed to like it as well.
We headed down to London for her final few days. London has almost become like a second home to me, since I can now navigate the underground without really needing a map. Too many trips there I suppose. We did the usual stuff, Parliament, Westminster, St Paul's, Tower, boat cruise...but we also threw in a few curve balls.
See, we were in London over Easter. It's the first year that I can remember where I didn't go to church on Easter Sunday. Oops. But we did make it to the Good Friday Service at St. Paul's Cathedral. Wow! What a service! Now, I grew up baptist...and had been attending a church prior to moving here that's rather contemporary. So, hearing the psalms sung and the passion sung was truly amazing. It was a really great experience and very moving. Something I highly recommend if you ever have the chance.
Of course though, for anyone that knows me, you know I can't go somewhere with great theatres and not see a musical. This trip was no different. I took my mom to see Billy Elliot. If you like dancing at all...GO SEE THIS MUSICAL! The boys that play Billy and his friend Michael were wonderful. For 11-13 year olds, they had some amazing talents. The girls on stage were very talented too. It's funny, sad, upbeat, and constantly moving. Do yourself a favor and see this! Oh, and if you know the movie...this is soooooooooo much better!
