On this Season 3 Finale, Virginia and Alex sit down to recount their August 2024 family trip to London that was part of Alex’s Christmas and 8th Grade graduation presents for last year! London had been on the top of his list since he was 5 years old and started watching the Harry Potter movies so the trip included a visit to tour the Warner Brothers Studio where much of Harry Potter was filmed, of course. They also made it to Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, and other fun spots around London.
