Regents Park

Joey and I spent our Saturday out and about as usual. We ventured to Trafalgar Square where they had West End Live. Basically it's an all day production of all the shows playing in the West End in London. They do a number from all of the shows to give you a little taste of what's going on. We unfortunately arrived later then we wanted to and we had missed all of our favorites that were performed in the morning. It was still a cool atmosphere, and fun to walk around and see everything.

Two years ago, Joey spent six weeks studying abroad here in London. Many things that we've done here are things that he did while he was here, so it has been great to have a trusty tour guide wherever we go. We decided to take a little trip down memory lane and go see where Joey stayed while he was here. Little did I know that he lived in an amazingly beautiful area, and was quite spoiled with his set up. It was fun to see where he had lived and studied, and to picture him here, not so long ago.

This is Regents College where Joey studied and lived. The cute security guard let us go in and look around, and Joey gave me a little tour of the place. It was fun to see where he lived, and see some of the different things he did while he was here.

But the luckiest part about this area is the incredible park across the street. I am ticked that we haven't come here before, but I guess it's smart because I would want to be here everyday. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I loved every minute of it, even though it was a down pour almost the whole time we were there. I didn't care one bit. I loved it. That's what umbrellas are for, right? It's sad to say but this park put Kensington and Hyde Park to shame.

Here are a few pictures from Regents Park.

The rose gardens were phenomenal. They had hundreds and hundreds of rows of beautiful roses, all different colors, and they smelled SO good. The had a million benches lining the pathway, and everything looked amazing.

And of course they have beautiful waterfall in the middle of the park.

Joey and I wanted to pay tribute to Sophie Rose Barton as there were several white rose patches throughout the park.

The roses themselves were almost as beautiful as she is.

Afterward, we walked over to Baker Street where the famous Sherlock Holmes resided. They had a cute little gift shop, where Joey had a little too much fun....

All in all, another successful day in London. We love you all, and we miss you like crazy!!
