And We Danced All Night

June 6th Continued

We spent a long time at Hampton Court. I'm sure you can tell that much from all of the pictures. It was a great place to be.

After a long visit at the palace, we stopped by at a place that, according to George, sells the best Fish & Chips. This time I tried Haddock because Sarah likes it so much more. It was good, but I think I prefer cod. Haddock tasted maybe a little bit more like chicken? I'm not sure. The chips were really good though. Justyne sides with George that they were the best chips she has had in London.

Worth the 30 minute wait. Chelsea had to buy something for her little brother and Sarah and I needed to take a picture at Platform 9 3/4. Thanks to Sarah for snapping the pics of me so I didn't have to pay, but I think mine of her are even better. Wearing the Ravenclaw scarf of course. You have to support your house!

You may think this last stop is a little silly, but the Alex Rider series practically starts at Liverpool Station. Since I was only a few stops away I decided to take a round about way home and visit the place where Alex starts his journey in becoming a spy. The movie is dreadful, but the books are entertaining.  

There aren't any pictures to document this, but the London YSA dance was on the sixth as well. This day never ends, I know. The theme was Boy Bands and Their Fans.... We did not dress to the theme. Tracy, Justyne, Sarah, and I went though to dance like crazy people around the British singles that we will never see again. The beginning of the dance was slow, which is to be expected. After about an hour things got real fun. We then realized that almost half of the dance was BYU kids or other random visitors. I talked to one British guy and several other people from Utah to Hungary. The highlight of the dance was when they put on Cotton Eye Joe. Someone must have requested it. Cotton Eye Joe isn't my favorite line dance, but the sheer confusion that took place was hysterical as the British people backed up again the wall and all the westerners danced the entire song. 

Amanda and Ellen made it to the dance too and we were able to pull several groups together by bursting through circles during every crazy dance party song we knew. There were a couple numbers that I had never heard before. One in particular was an earthquake song that must have been British and I wouldn't be surprised if it makes it to the states soon. 

I woke up the next morning very sore and with a wicked headache. June 6th was crazy. TGIF!
