    What great lists, Sarah. I want to do half of those things now, too! The Van Gogh museum is excellent.

    I love this list! I share so many of these as well. I'm currently trying to decide if I want to host a small Thanksgiving here again. I did one last year and really enjoyed it. A few things though: You can see my post about Holi here: http://www.itsbwitched.com/?s=Holi#sthash.XYE646CW.dpbs and the London Eye.....how do I put this.....it's TERRIBLY BORING. I guess it could be one of those things you just feel you must do but its like 40min all the way around and the view stops being conversational after about the first 10 AND you're in a cabin? car? with other tourists so maybe bringing a really big group and getting your own pod? would make it more fun. I'm also dying to do the Harry Potter tour and I hear there's a special Christmas one!

      Brittany, Thanks for your feedback! Your post about Holi is awesome and I love that you devoted space to how to protect a quality camera! How did you find my blog?? And how long have you been living here? (I simply have to read your entire blog now...)
