We made it!!! This is us after a long flight with several delays!! Jenny (me) not having slept in 30 hours....(I don't do well on planes :) ) we washed our faces and hit a local pub with becky. Micah was out of town..he gets back tonight ;)
Dj enjoying his "bangers and mash" at the pub. I had a super yummy fish and chips! delicious!
After sleeping in ...and having a wonderful breakfast we headed out to see some sights. we went to the Queens house.. This use to be the Queens country home but it is now outfited as a museum. This is the tulip staircase. Becky took a few pictures before we read the sign that said..."no pictures please" Ooops!
Dj and I atop greenwich park with the queens house down below! this is wear the primeridian is. The litteral line that marks the center of the earth!
Dj on one side of the primemeridian and me on the other :)
Daffodills!!! Amazingly sunny...yet crisp...and things are blooming!
The details of these chuches are breathtaking...just walking in and seeing the beauty and the creativiy of it all is a religious experience all by itself.
This is one of many amazing pipe organs i have seen! They blow my mind!!
The Queens house (old vacation home)
a super cute little cottage...i just thought it was adorable.
This was one of my favorite parts of the first day's outing. walking over the heath to blackheath village. it was so open and wide and beautiful.
We stopped here for coffee in blackheath village. Yes...there are Starbucks here... but not like Seattle. You are better off in the local shops! Then you won't be so dissapointed when it doesn't taste like "home"
dj just like this ...he's silly
Back out after a dinner break! We went to see the Tower bridge and London at night! soooo pretty. we walked over tower bridge...around the London towers and enjoyed our time togeter!Me and Dj before we went over the Tower Bridge! The archetecture over here is truly amazing.
What a first day in London. So we flew from Sunday into Monday....went out and about on Tuesday ...walked all around out and about today (there will be a post on that later) and my calves officially feel like they are about to fall off! We are soo happy to be here and having a great time..However , I may have to get a massage when I get home because I'm so sore from all the walking!! Cheers from London!
