I feel like I have to feature these two amazing restaurants that I had the privilege of visiting in England, because they were so amazing….and because I feel like reminiscing a bit. Located on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower, Duck & Waffle is now a new favorite in London. The meal started off with pea & ham soup with a yummy scotch egg (I was mostly excited for the scotch egg since I was dying to try one for the first time–so good!) I definitely did not leave hungry and I will most definitely return to The Hind’s Head in Bray.

: Part 1, I wanted to write a separate blog for my tips/suggestions and also chat about a really cool food tour that we went on. “Rome” before the trip (yes, I’m a total planner), I stumbled upon a blog that had mentioned doing a food tour. After some more research, I decided to book a tour with Secret Food Tours Rome. I know I’ll definitely be returning to another tour in a new city!

Total Tourist Tip: If you visit during the day, you’re able to go inside–for free. I definitely feel like I’m already running out of awesome, amazing adjectives to describe all of the sites. Total Tourist Tip: If you’re planning a trip to Rome, avoid July and August unless you don’t mind the heat (hot, hot hot). Again, we didn’t actually go inside any of the buildings since it was a quick stop and we weren’t properly dressed.

Another new month, which means new adventures and new goals–YAY! It’s a month to spread awareness for a disease near and dear to my heart–SMA. Over the past two (and a bit) years, my family has been through gut wrenching heartbreak, sadness, and cried countless tears. Because of growing awareness and clinical research, I’m confident that SMA has met it’s match.
