I’m interrupting my series on London to bring y’all a super comfortable and budget-friendly Fourth of July outfit! And yes, I totally get the irony of this post disrupting information on England 🙂
But everybody here in the U.S. is in Fourth of July planning mode. And we all know that planning for the Fourth of July means getting that comfortable but festive outfit ready for slamming down the hot dogs and watching fireworks!
This is technically my second post on London (be sure to check out my previous post on packing and planning!). We arrived in London around 10:30 am on a Monday, so we had the entire day to explore and fight jet lag. Hint: whatever you do, try to get on the schedule of wherever you’re traveling. Do not take a nap, no matter how bad you want one! Getting on a new schedule ASAP is really helpful in preventing jet lag.
The daffodils and cherry trees are blooming, which means spring is here, right? I was hoping so, but it’s been one rainy and gloomy week and weekend! My parents, who live in Virginia, said it’s rained so much the last week+ that people have been out of school and in landslides. I’m not sure if that’s better than snow or not.
All I know is that there’s one more week of school before spring break, and I AM SO READY.

I wasn’t planning on dedicating an entire post to one meal, but the food was so good that I think this restaurant actually deserves its own post. Continue reading
For some reason, I always forget that there’s the possibility of rain when I travel. And for the most part, the weather has cooperated pretty well in all my adventures. Not the case in Chicago… Continue reading
Our first full day in Chicago started off kind of rough. Walking around a city in heavy rain is not enjoyable…but a little rain never stopped us! (Even though it absolutely did make us kind of whiney.)

I may have sworn off half marathons, but that hasn’t ended my Rock ‘n Roll race adventures! Continue reading
This was our final day in San Francisco, so we wanted to make sure we did the touristy areas that we’d missed.
Today was also CRUFFIN DAY.
