Our School Trip to the UK

Here are our intrepid travelers about to begin their international journey to the UK: 11 days in London with a side trip to Cambridge, and 5 days in Edinburgh, with two days for traveling.  Three faculty members (one fearless leader, one British citizen, one mom-that's me) one adult husband to help chaperone, and 7 theatre students. We took planes, trains, and automobiles, plus a boat on our journey as well as thousands of photos along the way.  We visited castles, palaces, museums, art galleries, and more.  We saw a play, an opera, and 7 musicals, toured two theatres and the Royal Albert Hall.  We crammed in as much history as we possibly could as well as popular culture.  It just so happened that the Royal Wedding happened while we were in town.  We also did walking tours of Rock and Roll history in London, the Jack the Ripper murders in Whitechapel, and Harry Potter sites in Edinburgh.  We even climbed an extinct volcano known as Arthur's Seat, yes, that Arthur.  It was an amazing trip and I am so thankful that my husband and I got to be a part of it.  I know you all are anxious to hear all about it and see the multitude of photos, but I am still in a time crunch to churn out the rest of our Flash cosplay for the Greater Austin Comic con next weekend, so this is a promise, that I will get there, slowly but surely as the summer goes along.  You'll just have to be patient.
