July 21, 2002: Kensington Palace

I woke up at 7 am and got dressed and put my makeup on. I went to breakfast at 8 am and afterwards I came back up to my room to write in my journal. We had a meeting in the Conference Room about the day's adventure. Our patrol from London decided to all go to South Kensington so we went to Belsize Park and took the Tube to South Kensington.

Jax, Diana, Katie, and I all went to the Museum of Natural History. We got lost on the 2nd or 3rd floor and Katie and Diana went off by themselves. Jax and I found the kids section of the museum and had fun playing with the exhibits. We went back to join the whole group at 12:30. Then we walked to Hyde Park where we saw the Victoria and Albert Memorial. We at lunch by a pond where there were swans, geese, and remote control sail boats.

After lunch we walked to Kensington Palace and took an audio tour through it. It was nice. After Kensington Palace, Jax and I walked around the Sunken Garden and took pictures. We met some of the group back in the Orangery. We fed the pigeons and the squirrels. I got a picture of a squirrel eating out of Jax's hand.

After Kensington Palace we walked to the Peter Pan statute and took pictures. We proceeded to the nearest Tube stop and rode back to Belsize Park. Then we walked back to Pax Lodge. Our group ate dinner with the other group at 5:30. After dinner Diana and I watched the end of Notting Hill (which we are buying as soon as I get home). We had campfire at 8:00. I sang two songs for the group all by myself (Princess Pat and the Three Bears). I have a new nickname. I am now "Scouty Spice." I work all my London clothes and my patent leather boots tonight. It was fun.

After campfire we all went to our rooms and I washed some of my socks in the sink. Then I wrote in my journal. I went to sleep at 10:45.

Mystery Trip

I've always wanted to just disappear on a trip and have a solo adventure. So I planned one. Next April-May I'm going to disappear on a plane out of DC and I'll let everyone guess where I'm off to next
