I cannot believe that our 10th anniversary trip to London & Scotland has come and gone. It feels like we had been planning this trip forever and with most vacations, it was over in the blink of an eye. It was an incredible trip and a lovely way to celebrate a decade of marriage together!! For our 10th anniversary we knew that we wanted to travel but weren’t quite sure where. We settled on the UK and decided to split our trip into three parts, London, Scotland and London. 

I have SO much to share about our trip and because I’m not quite ready for our adventure to be over, instead of sharing it all in a long post I’ve decided to break the trip down into several parts. First I’ll be sharing the amazing destinations we visited in a multi-post series. Next my hope is to share the delicious places we ate (because let’s be real, we planned this trip around FOOD ;)) along with a reviews of where we stayed and some of the amazing experiences we enjoyed while on vacation!! Are you ready?!

Our first stop was London. This was my third visit to this bustling city and it was still full of the charm and character that made me fall in love with London years ago. It was the perfect destination to start out trip, filled with things to do but also relaxing enough to simply sit and enjoy a cup of coffee together; a great mix!!

For the first three days we stayed in Kensington and filled each day with site seeing and eating. We absolutely adored the Kensington neighborhood, filled with coffee shops and locals – it felt far removed from the hustle and bustle of central London and the craziness that is summer tourist season.

This was our part of the trip to see the sights and we did a LOT of walking, shopping and “touristing”. Highlights included Liberty of London (A MUST for the building alone), Nopi, the Victoria and Albert Museum, BBBakery Tour, Notting Hill and more — I promise to break this all down in an upcoming post!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed Part 1 of our London adventure and come back for Part 2 next week — it’s all about Scotland and I PROMISE you won’t want to miss it!!
