Describe a memorable journey
In July 2007, my girlfriend and I decided to have a journey in the UK. As it was the first time in Great Britain, we decided to go to London first, that is its capital and the most representative city.
Of course, we wanted to visit all the most representative places, either for artistic, architectural or historical reasons.
London Bridge was wonderful, seen from the boat while sailing along the Thames. The Tower of London, full of history and mistery, made us dream of a past in which a lot of events happened, that made the history of Great Britain.
After that, we visited the British Museum, that has a very important section on ancient Egypt. It was really interesting, and I hope to come back and visit it again to explore other sections that we hadn't had have time to visit.
The last day in London, we went onto the London Eye to admire London from above. A stunning scenery was in front of us, and we were talking about how lucky we were to have the possibility to travel and see such wonderful places when, as I had planned in advance, I asked my girlfriend to become my wife.
I was so excited, I was sure to make her a great surprise, and sure it was! She, crying, accepted my proposal and added: "I'm so in love with you, I would marry you a thousand times, and this is a very appropriate time, now that I'm pregnant!". Now I am the one surprised, and what a surprise! She had made a pregnancy test just two hours before, and now she was giving me the great news.
I will never forget the journey to London, that made me visit unforgettable places and made me a husband and a father!

Describe a memorable journey
In July 2007, my girlfriend and I decided to have a journey in the UK. As it was our first time in Great Britain, we decided to go to London first, which (not wrong but better as it prevents misconception) is the country's capital and most representative city.
Of course, we wanted to visit all the most representative places, either for artistic, architectural, or historical reasons.
London Bridge was wonderful, seen from our (nothing wrong grammatically; just to make it flow nicer as an experienced being told like a story as opposed to an essay ^^) boat while sailing along the Thames. The Tower of London, full of history and mistery, made us think of ("dream of" suggest that the past that made the history of Great Britain was fictive and of the writer's imagination...) a time in the past in which a lot of events happened, becoming the history of Great Britain.
After that, we visited the British Museum, that had (careful! stay in past tense... =D) a very important section on Ancient Egypt. It was really interesting, and I hope to come back and visit it again to explore other sections that we hadn't had time to visit. ("haven't had time" / "didn't have time" depending on what you are trying to say... ^o^)
The last day in London, we went onto the London Eye to admire London from above. A stunning scenery was in front of us, and we were talking about how lucky we were to have the chance to travel and see such wonderful places when, as I had planned in advance, I asked my girlfriend to become my wife.

Crying, she accepted my proposal and added: "I'm so in love with you, I would marry you a thousand times, and this is a very appropriate time, now that I'm pregnant!" Now I am the one surprised, and what a surprise! She had had/taken a pregnancy test just two hours before, and now she was giving me the great news.
I will never forget that journey to London, which made me visit unforgettable places and made me a husband and a father!

Thanks Gabriela for your comment and for your corrections.
The story is partially true, I wrote it for a test and I had to fill it with something to make it long enough.
However, it's true that I went with my girlfriend that is now my wife, and that we enjoyed that journey very much, and that we want to go back to London for another journey! :)
