then i went back to my flat to shower and get ready for the day.
had to run across the street to the hair salon and have them help me do it because our straighteners and curling irons all broke last week!
then i met up with my fam and we went down to victoria place- and they got to see where i worked-- and we ate at zizis for lunch. i had really good rissoto.
after that we walked back by st. james park to Churchill's War Museum.
basically where WWII was planned. it was reallly cool.
although my audio guide somehow changed into german halfway through ... so that was no fun.
i cant believe that so many people literally lived underground for multiple years!
then we found our way to our resteraunt for dinner. i ordered champagne! (yay!)
and had what was called gnocchi-- but was like circular potato cheese somethings.
it was realllly good though.
after an intersting dinner we all made it to the London Eye. it was raining by then... of course this is london---. mom was freaking out because she didnt like the heights (im not sure what she thought she was getting on...-- i mean you see it before you get on...)
and when we were at the very top my parents handed me a birthday present.
i expected simply a card (and i didnt even get that!) because this trip is my present.
but i opened a pretty little box and got STUNNING diamond earrings. they are perfect and beautiful. i was shocked.
after that we went back to my parents hotel and had great dessert- and i was able to order a "dessert cocktail" which was interesting--- and really cool.
then i found my way over to earl's court and met up with some of my roommates at a local pub.
we sat there for only like 15 min before deciding to head back. we were all so tired.
we knocked on the boys door and i went and woke stew up and we were only there for about 5 min when jen got a phone call and is like kaylin.... we have to go upstairs now. something happened with morgan and she wants us there now. (she had been having not the best day). so we literally ran up 6 flights of stairs.
we get to our door and all the lights are off--- i turn the lights on and streamers go off- and popping things and all this cool stuff. my roommates yell happy birthday and i see lights on a cake --- and this HUGE poster on our wall saying happy 21st and my roommates all signed it and it was AMAZING.
i blew out the candles... kind of- they were trick candles and the cake was AMAZING.
and they popped open champagne and we all sat in the common room eating cake and drinking champagne with streamers all over the floor and talking. probably one of my favorite nights here.
i had NO clue this was coming and it was absolutely amazing.
i expected nothing of the sort and it was so awesome.
i guess what had happened was megan got excited and lit the candles on the cake thinking they wouldnt melt as fast as they did- so someone called jen and was like- hurry come upstairs now or our house is going to burn down--- so that is why we had to run upstairs.
it was such an amazing birthday full of so many surprises.
thank you to my family for my beautiful earring that i will have forever and to my roommates for making my birthday so special and fun.
