Our First Visitor!!!!!! Laurel came to visit for a long weekend in May and luckily since I hadn't started work yet we got to hang out and see the sights :o) This is us after our tour of the Tower of London with Tower Bridge in the background. We went and saw the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, the royal band (or whatever their official name is) played English classics like New York New York by Sinatra haha. The police officer did a mini kick line which was an added bonus.
My Parents came to visit in May as well and brought the best weather we have seen since moving to London, it was 80 and sunny everyday of their trip. Taking advantage we were outside the entire time enjoying hte parks and taking in some sun. We went to Hampton Court Palace one of the days which is highly recommended if you are in London more than a few days since it is one of the few places you truly get a feel of how it used to be used back in the Tudor days, kitchens and all. Plus they have a hedge maze which we figured out the secret to on the first time I must say...Gibbels you know :o)
John's Birthday was appropriately marked by the beginning of the World Cup and chocolate cake of course. I was almost blinded by all the light coming from the candles..and they weren't even all on there :o)
Happy Birthday John.
