Just another day in paradise!

Today was a lovely visit with my friend Paul at his home!


Then we drove home to Fiona's, to catch the train back into London. We snuck off to a restaurant on the Thames for a shared burger and beers - so yummy!! Then we went to meet Fiona, Heather and Heather's sister Judy (from Kenya) and we went on the London Eye. What a view!






From there we walked over to the parliament buildings and Big Ben, then the Westminister Abbey, and then a bit longer of a walk to Buckingham Palace! The queen was home and her guards were in blue uniforms today : )



We grabbed a quick dinner (scone and waffle - with chocolate, blueberries and whip cream...okay, okay! that was a dessert at dinner - but it was damn good!) and went to see Wicked the broadway play....and I LOVED it! Wow. We had amazing seats as well.

Off to bed by 1:30am - opps!

  3. SO AWESOME. Wicked is such an amazing play. We never went on the London Eye but it looks spectacular! So cool you get to enjoy beers here and there... We certainly had fun with the girls! They were abel to get good sleep and we went to the pool today with them. Lots of fun, especially with Brielle loving the water so much too. Got them off to dance and Samantha back to Grandma & Papa's.
