The Hard Rock Cafe-London and Tricia's Birthday!

This morning was kinda slow. My alarm didn't go off and I ended up sleeping through breakfast, again. Once I got ready and all that, I did some history reading, but didn't make much progress. 

Today is/was Tricia's Birthday! To celebrate we decided to all go to the Hard Rock Cafe London. So, Tricia, Kaitlin, Danny, Dillon and I headed out on our way there. Turns out, none of us really knew where we were going. We got a little lost and took a few wrong turns. Somehow we ended up near this giant building with big gold gates. Danny said, "I think that's Buckingham palace.." and all 3 of us girls said we were pretty sure it wasn't. It didn't look anything like the pictures and things we had seen on T.V. or anything. Turns out, it was the Palace after all! Danny gave us a pretty hard time because we doubted him, but we were still pretty excited to see the palace for the first time! Tricia claims it was the perfect birthday surprise! 

Finally we were pointed in the right direction and made it to HRC after about an hour of walking! haha! We had a little wait, but nothing bad... then headed in for the ultimate HRC experience! It was a blast! We were laughing and chatting and enjoying all the lovely music videos they showed on many screens throughout the restaurant. My personal favorites were the ones from the 80s! haha There were lots of cool things there like... Paul McCartney's fiddle and some green sequin jacket Mick Jagger wore once upon a time! It was a really cool atmosphere! 

The food was amazing! We all got burgers because we heard that those are the best things to buy! Turns out that was a great choice! I ate my entire mushroom and swiss burger! All 10 ounces! It was massive but totally worth it! 

Then it was time to come home and get ready for kitchen duty shortly followed by dinner. We all thought we were going to explode but out came the most amazing dinner I think I've seen here yet! Of course, I had to eat at least some of it! :) After dinner and cake I seriously thought I was going to die! I felt like I had eaten a small child! haha

I was quickly informed that there was going to be a small soccer game about an hour after dinner. Of course I was going to play even if I felt like I would die at any moment. About 8 of us went and played and had a blast! It was so fun to be up and moving! My body is really starting to hate me though, I may have to give it a few days off soon! haha! I'm so sore its insane!

After the game, a few of us decided to jog back and get a little more exercise. Then we headed out to get cash and a few other supplies for tomorrow! 

Tomorrow: Brighton! :) Sooo excited! 

Love you all! See you in a month from tomorrow! Crazy how fast the time is flying!!! I never want to leave!
