And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

My super awesome life... Part 1 of a 3 part series.

*Liverpool*

The moment the train pulled into Lime Street station, I had the overwhelming feeling that I had come home. A home I had never been to before- but home, nonetheless. Dylan and I had come to Liverpool to see where our idols, The Beatles, had got their start. It did not dissapoint! We spent 2 days exploring on our own, before we began filming with the UK's iTV network for another two days. The film crew was the funnest group of people I've ever met, and Dylan and I were the stars of the show ("The Tourist Trail with John Sergeant" will come into England's finest homes this November.)

Highlights of the Liverpool trip included, seeing the childhood homes of the Fab Four, taking a special sing-a-long version of the Magical Mystery Tour, getting invited to the VIP lounge whilst with John Sergeant (he's a big deal in the UK, apparently.), drinking and making friends at The Cavern Club (where the Beatles performed regularly for years), seeing numerous cover bands performing for National Beatles Day, spending hours and hours at The Beatles Story Museum and, of course, flying out of John Lennon Airport (where, I kid you not, the motto is "Imagine... Above us only sky." How sweet is that?)


Dirty Maggie Mae, they have taken her away, and she never walks down Lime Street any more.


The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away.


Imagine all the people, living life in peace... you may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.


P.S. I love you.


Probably the most incredible portion of this museum, was where they recreated John Lennon's white apartment at The Dakotas, with a white piano, a white feather, and his glasses sitting on a shelf. Playing in the background was his song, "Imagine." Chilling, and a little tear jerking.


I know you're not supposed to have favorites. But John Lennon will always be my favorite Beatle. "Where are we going lads?" "To the top, Johnny! To the top!"
