London comings and goings

Words can not really describe what a awesome city London is. So many historical places and so much to do and see. I am desperate to get back there someday. I had an amazing time with my sister and husband. The gates of Buckingham palace. The flag was up which means the Queen was inside.
The fountain at Trafalgar square, the National gallery behind it where we saw orginal works of art by Van gogh and Monet. We saw Wicked, it was so fun. Curt slept through the entire first act (in his defense he was so very jet lagged) and even he enjoyed it! Lets be honest the second half is much better anyway.
Do not forget to mind the gap when riding the tube.
Amelia and I both enjoyed Curtis' snack and drink of choice while walking through the city.

Westmister Abbey, where Princess Diana was married. It was absolutely stunning but not quite stunning enough to pay thirty dollars each to get in.

Big Ben, really just a great big clock.

Hilarious little taxis. The cars in the UK are so tiny and so funny, my sister thinks they look like roller skates.
I was attending to some important phone calls while in my shiny red phone booth. I think I was talking to the Queen.
A tunnel leading up to Buckingham palace.
A gigantic lion statue at Trafalgar square. Tons of little school kids were climbing all over it, I felt old cause it was hard to get on.

The view of Trafalgar square behind us, it is amazing. Tons and tons of people everywhere and beautiful old buildings all around it.

Goodbye London! Cheers!

Knotting Hill market, London








I could go to this antique/farmers market every single day of my life. It was one off the most amazing things I saw in London. Next time you are in London stop by.
