Back in the States...

I have now been home for just over a week. It took a while to get back into the swing of things. I have mostly just been cleaning out my room. It has been five years since I lived at home, so I had to make room for all of my stuff. It has been nice to be home though, and it is really nice to be back in some summer weather!!

I had a great time in England. We did a lot of stuff. We saw Brighton, Oxford, Stonehenge, the countryside, and pretty much all of London. It rained a lot while we were there, and even when it wasn’t raining it was still grey and cloudy.

I have so much work to do with all my pictures. In the end I came back from Europe with over 6,000 pictures! It will take a while to get them all taken care of.

In the meantime here are some of my pictures from England. Enjoy!
