During week two, I went to Chawton to visit the house of Mr. Darcy from the movie Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It is really the home of the Dutch and Duchess of Devonshire.  It was the most beautiful house I had ever seen in my life and the garden was amazing. I also went to the Museum of Childhood and I really enjoyed my time learning about the history of different games, dolls, and toys. Wednesday, we learned how to square dance and Virginia reel dance. I had a great time learning the dances and it was fun.

Today’s field trip, we went to Wimbledon to visit the lawn tennis museum and take a tour around the area. I had a great time going backstage and seeing where the champions actually play. Next time when I watch a tennis game, I can actually say that I have been there and that I got to see the trophies from Serena Williams and other famous tennis champions. What I really loved about today was going to the Queen Marys Garden. I enjoyed the park and all the roses that the park was surrounded with. It was filled with all types of flowers, roses of all colors, trees, plants, ponds, and fountains. It definitely seemed like a park that families can go to and enjoy their time. I had a great time this week and I really look forward for next week.

 My experience for the first week of class was fun. I enjoyed going to the Royal Opera House and learning the history of it. The Harry Potter scavenger hunt was adventurous, but fun as well. I think it gave the class the opportunity to work together and find our way through many locations. What I mostly enjoyed about that day was going to the Royal Opera House. As for the second day out, we took a trip to the park for some exercise. I think the class had a good exercise and it’s good to stay in shape. We also got to do some meditation for a while and relax. Personally this was my favorite part of the day because afterwards I felt good and ready to do something else. I look forward for this class and the trips to come because I think we will all have fun and enjoy our time exploring different areas of London. So far I can say that I am really enjoying this class and I hope to get to know my classmates and I hope to cherish great memories.
