Our First Stop: London


The trip is underway! We flew into London on Wednesday morning and have been running ever since. Our hotel is a bit seedy, in a quaint, convenient way. We dropped off our luggage, met Ross (Ross had spent a week in Paris with friends from high school/college), and have been exploring for the past 3 days. Such a clean, easy to navigate city! We went to Wimbledon, planning to just look at the exterior, but no lines, and decent priced tickets convinced us to stay and watch. Ross and I were walking the first evening, hoping to keep me up long enough to cure my jet lag and happened on a concert in Hyde Park. Jack Johnson, one of all of the kids favorites had just started. The word of the day is "serendipitous".


Here is a picture of us on the London Eye. Tomorrow, we leave for the Cotswolds.
