Sarah came to visit for the Royal Wedding 2011...mostly to see us I think and she just timed it right haha. We rallied the troops to leave the flat at 5AM...snacks packed the night before and ready to go with champagne and bride cookies!!! The early morning trek to the route(strategically timed to be just prior to the first tube of the morning) paid off and we had GREAT location for the processions.
John and Sarah getting excited and staking our claim with blankets and bags:) it got super packed later so it was nice for at least awhile we were not totally crammed in.
John went in search of a sandwich and made Sarah VERY happy by bringing back a warm cheese pastry (for any who don't know sarah she LOVES all things cheesy...and therefore currently lives in the swiss alps for easy access haha)
Our spot was so good that Michelle Miller of CBS news camped out right BEHIND us...that's right we had a better spot than the press(well at least the crowd crew). the press had no clue on the timing of events...I got them all up to speed with who would drive by when and in what with my newspaper timeline :)
The band came out to entertain the crowd during the wait...playing classic british tunes such as the theme from Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Oscar Meyer song
