England Trip to Harrogate, London, Oxford
Come to England with my parents and I for my first time! We stopped in Oxford for a night then made the rest of our way to visit my parents’ friends in Harrogate and rounded the trip out in London. It was all super laid back and a play-it-by-ear type of vacation. Hopefully you can take some recommendations from this post to help craft your own incredible trip to England. Check out this 7-minute YouTube vlog for more behind the scenes!
