London

Havn't written in a while but we have indeed arrived. The first night I was so thoroughly exhausted I collapsed at Moira's house following a 36 hour day. Yesterday we went to Crowthorne to see Jeremy and Tess with all the kids- Orla, Holly, Dom, and Max. Meeting the kids later for a ride on the ferris wheel, we enjoyed walking about Windsor and seeing Windsor Castle (where the Queen lives on the weekend). While in Windsor we visited my cousin Jeremy's seafood restaurant which is ideally located not only next to the castle, but also next to Queen Charlotte's Street (shortest street in Windsor) and the crooked house. Later in the night we went to the pub for dinner- The Golden Retreiver (which by the way, everyone in my family thinks Emma is an alcoholic).

After having left my cousin Jeremy's house this morning filled with loads of british children with the most adorable voices in the world, we headed to London. We had a lovely day as Aunty Lynn zoomed about the city of history on two wheels, sliding by the parked cars and pedestrians as we fly by the monuments and palaces.

We were able to see Buckingham Palace (where the Queen lives in the week), Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tate Art Museum, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, St. Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the Millenium Bridge, in addition to taking a boat ride on the Thames River.

All in all, it was a wonderful day. For now, we are chilling in the midlands...
