London

So far we have been to London 4 times and still have SO much to see! The first time we went we took the Original Bus Tour and saw Westminster Abbey. The second time we toured the Tower of London and went to Hamleys-a 7 floor toy store!- and Harrods (WOW!!!!). The third time we went we met John's uncle Jim for breakfast and then just walked around the city. It was a beautiful sunny day and we didn't want to be inside so we walked around Trafalgar Square and through an amazing park and saw Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately I forgot the camera but since we live so close to London I wasn't too upset. The only thing I wish I would've gotten was a picture of was Big Ben in the sun. We were walking around the Square and I looked down the street and there was Big Ben, bright and beautiful. Oh well...next time! The 4th time we went it was just John and I. He bought tickets to Phantom of the Opera for my birthday and we spent the whole day there just the two of us. We had lunch at the Texas Embassy Cantina and then saw the incredible show and had dinner at the Hard Rock cafe. It was really strange not having to carry a stroller up and down the stairs to the tube...but we had a really great time. One thing I'm most looking forward to is going there in the late spring/summer when everything is in bloom. The park that I love so much will be breathtaking when the trees and flowers are fully in bloom. I better remember to bring my camera then!!! More London pictures to come!
