July 30

We saw Finding Dory today. There were about 8 of us that went, because it just came out in the UK and we've been waiting all summer for it. It was great to go back to our childhood together, because we all have different memories from seeing Finding Nemo and it was just really cool.

I went on a walk through the city, after the movie, but the trek was much more difficult that I had anticipated. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child had its official premiere so there were tons of people, and road blocks everywhere. We live less than 10 minutes from the Palace Theatre, and that's the quickest route to the water...but I took the long way around to avoid the crowds, or so I thought. I walked along the Southbank again, because I really am going to miss that area. On my walk back, there was a bike race going on and I had to walk an extra mile before being able to get to the other side of the street. I didn't mind at all though, because it was a gorgeous day and I was in London.

Aleesia, JT, and I played peanuts before going out tonight and it made me realize how old I actually am. We were attempting to teach Emily how to play, and Aleesia commented on how I always win (& how JT only wins if Aleesia and I are drinking). I said, sarcastically, "yeah, but I probably have 10 years on them," and once I said that, I did the math and I realized I probably did. I can't remember when I learned to play peanuts, but it has probably been around 10 years now, and that just blew my mind. Wow.

We went out to a bar, and had a great time with "girls night." We didn't invite other people, except Alayna, because it always gets too complicated. We looked cute and danced until 2, then we had to get McDonald's for Aleesia before heading back to the apartment. We stayed up talking to Alayna and Sean for a while before going to bed.
