I love vicariously traveling and it's so great to see modern photos of all the famous places I've been reading about in all my historical fiction books. Love the museums of natural history, too! The NY museum of natural history is hands down my favorite of all the museums I've seen. Love you face with the Henry VIII suit! haha Glad to see you had such an awesome vacation!

No wedding planning for me thankfully - so no stress!<br /><br />Ooh you need to go too! I got so much out of this trip - it doesn't even cover it here - so I'm sure you would too! Hopefully your fiancé agrees :)<br /><br />Heh, it's true I'm relieved we don't have to wait as long because man... that would have been torture with the way HoF ended!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-13921965520085789122015-06-16T12:32:26.734-06:002015-06-16T12:32:26.734-06:00THANK YOU!!

As you can tell, I have not announced it specifically on any social media, as it is not my way. I just thought I would slip it into this post. And yes, it was perfect, but no I will not be calling him my fiancé because that still sounds so weird to me!<br /><br />There won't be a wedding either because again, it's just not my (or Ian's) kind of thing. But if there were... I'm sure I would have to find some way to include both HP and dinosaurs, haha.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-78545906267341406012015-06-16T06:52:59.315-06:002015-06-16T06:52:59.315-06:00Eeee I've been meaning to comment on this post...Eeee I've been meaning to comment on this post, so sorry for the delay! But CONGRATS! So, so happy for you and your bf. That is quite possibly one of the best proposals I've ever heard of. Now all the fun wedding planning begins, right? I'm already starting to stress out a little.<br />I love all the pictures you took. So jealous of your U.K. trip - it's on my to-do list. :) (Also, this may sound naive, but I totally thought the Tower of London was a...well, tower. haha. Deceptive name!) And I totally have a mini replica of Henry VIII's suit of armor. And Fleet Street! And Versailles! So cool. I've been telling my fiance that we need to do a Europe trip, and I'll use your pics as evidence of how awesome it could be.<br />And yay for Heir of Fire! I just read the entire series over the past month, and despite not loving Throne of Glass, I LOVED Crown of Midnight and Heir of Fire. Luckily the wait won't be quite as long for us as it has been for most other fans who read HOF back last September!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-12612231016527305252015-06-15T21:40:21.936-06:002015-06-15T21:40:21.936-06:00Also, if your wedding doesn't have at least on...Also, if your wedding doesn't have at least one Harry Potter element in it, I will be shocked...and slightly disappointed. :P hahaAmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-1921711976271004762015-06-15T21:39:48.340-06:002015-06-15T21:39:48.340-06:00Sooooo many things for me to comment and gush on!!...Sooooo many things for me to comment and gush on!!!! First, soooo glad your trip was so amazing! It looks like it was absolutely wonderful!<br /><br />Second, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :D I've been a bad friend and took this long to check out your post, so I had no idea you've been engaged since May and I didn't even know!!! Congrats, congrats, congrats!!!!! :D I'm so happy for you, Eilidh...and it sounds like your proposal was perfect!!! Your "fiancé" definitely did good! ;D haha I had to use fiancé because it's new and exciting to say!!!!!!!! :D <br /><br />Now that I'm finished fangirling (for the most part :P) over your engagement, I love all of your pictures and your descriptions!!! I love that you went to museums and indulged in your love of science during your trip, it's so you! ;D I also love that you went to the atypical tourist spots! ;) <br /><br />Finally...your face next to Henry VIII armour and extensive codpiece is quite impressive. I'll never forget your expression. Never. :P <br /><br />Once again, so HAPPY for you and Ian!!!!! :D Congratulations!!! :D AmburHostynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269572610984100581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-12139309471190421952015-06-07T19:54:23.866-06:002015-06-07T19:54:23.866-06:00Yes, I'm glad you are able to understand my wo...Yes, I'm glad you are able to understand my wonder and I hope you get to witness these things for yourself someday!

This post was so much fun to read and your photos are gorgeous. I admit it made me a little jealous ;) I've been to Edinburgh and London before but aside from a day trip to Calais (which I don't think really counts), I've never been to France, so Paris is still on my list!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393710532281676728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-46007321076770120162015-06-03T12:48:25.568-06:002015-06-03T12:48:25.568-06:00I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip!

That's a gorgeous picture of Arthur's Seat (I Pinned it!). As for Paris, I've never visited, but it's on my bucket list.<br /><br />Happy June!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-42320118525353373002015-06-03T09:11:13.900-06:002015-06-03T09:11:13.900-06:00Thanks, Sarika!
