“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."-Mark Twain

Clearly we are 5 years old.

Went on a lovely adventure to Warwick Castle today. It was incredibly fun and allowed us to channel our inner children.




The castle itself is actually pretty impressive. It was started in 1066 and up until around 50 years ago was still used as a residence. It has a very long and interesting history that I read about in the guide book I bought for my mom but alas most of the facts have left me. It had displays/ attractions such as "the king maker' and "the royal wedding party' basically it was an entertaining way to see the inside of the castle with out just walking through and going 'ooh' 'aww' which we did anyway. We did try to pull the sword out of the stone, to which neither of us were successful but I did stop Morgan from killing and innocent child. We then Climbed to the top of the Castle and walked along the walls. Amazing view. the spiral stairs did get to Morgan but she made it out alive- after we ran away from some strange people in the tower. To be quite honest, the castle is now a tourist attraction for younger kids. they have all sorts of things going on that intrigue a younger audience. Morgan and I were amused by some things but alas not enough to spends buckets amount of time there. So instead we went diamond shopping and found morgan's perfect wedding dress. . . she disagrees but I love it!!!

20!!!

My birthday was very entertaining. The day started out with me making the funfetti cake that my mom sent to me. while it was baking I was in my room for no more than 10 minutes when frantic knocking started at my door - Chrissy and Rosie had been awoken by the delicious smell. haha So while the cake was baking we decided the best idea would be to make jello shots for the night. It was very entertaining and Chrissy's shelf in the fridge had never been so beautiful. Since everyone was still asleep Chrissy and I thought it best to make a twister board. It was genius and very entertaining. the ovals were not the same size and shape at all but all in all we were very proud of how it turned out. Although by the end of the night there was a giant hole in it. Jess!!! We went to the Sneyd Arms for dinner- using operation Ninja roll. I would go into detail about that but we still use it on a weekly basis and it must remain on the down low. It was actually a very low key night- we stayed in and played drinking games and for most people drunken twister. James lost at Kings and how to down a dirty pint. Bad idea because he does not do well on those. Funny for us though because he then had to go let G into his room- couldnt even get the keys into the door. Chrissy and I followed him over to his because normally he wont let us anywhere near his room so we thought we would take advantage of the situation. We fought with him for a good 10 minutes over his keys- we won in the end but I did end up scratching him pretty badly blood everywhere!!! After we came back to O block we started playing I have never. . .again. that game starts to get boring when you know everything about everyone playing. so while everyone played James and I were causing nothing but trouble. . .like we usually do when we are together. In the end Chrissy ended up really really drunk once again crawling everywhere and passing out in the toilets, many times. 20 birhtday was very much a success.
