On our first day off in Birmingham, I visited my Mom in London, England. She worked the flight over, I was able to spend the day and night with her, and then she worked the flight home the next day. It was short but certainly sweet! She took me to see Abby Road, which was exciting. I can now check that off my list!
Next thing to check off my list; my first understudy roll with this show! Two Sundays ago, I was given the opportunity to skate the roll of 'Nani', the older sister of 'Lilo', from the film, 'Lilo and Stitch'. I really enjoyed her character. She does and short pairs number in the show which was new for me, so that was a great experience. She also does a jump in finale, which was of course a lot of fun for me! :)
During the next couple of days off, a group of us toured around in style. We rented a Hummer Limo for the day and visited the famous Stonehenge, as well as the city of Bath. It was really neat to see the mysterious, standing stones. Check!
I enjoyed the city of Bath very much. It is an endearing town, filled with small shops, alluring architecture, and lots of history. It is also home to the Roman Baths. Around Britain's only hot spring, the Roman's built this beautiful temple and bathing complex. Needless to say, it was very interesting to see!
Next up, the cast Halloween party! Yes, I realize we dress up nearly everyday for a living, however, sometimes, it nice to be able to choose your costume :).
This year, my roommate, Jen and I went as Loofahs! We were able to find a fabric store in Birmingham, and made our own costumes. They turned out great and the party was a lot of fun. Everyone dressed up. There were certainly some amazing outfits!

On Friday, we only had one show in the evening, so I decided to take a train to Warwickshire. It is here, in this small, very cute town, you can find the Warwick Castle. This medieval castle was built in 1068, and was at one point, the home to King Henry II. What a spectacular structure!
I'm very excited to get to Ireland! My parents will be coming next week while we are in Belfast. They are going to take me to see where my Dad's Mother, my Nana, grew up, a farm in a small town just outside of Belfast. I am very grateful to have this opportunity!
"The longest road out is the shortest road home." - Irish proverb
I thought that this was an appropriate quote.
May the Luck of the Irish be with you all :)
