Next stop is our European hometown: London!!! John was in town for work so Conrad and I kept ourselves busy during the days seeing the sights, meeting dear friends and, of course, eating some yummy British food.
This was such a special trip as we got to see so many friends from so many different phases of life. Thank you so much to each of you who took the time to come out and see us! And to those we didn’t see, sorry we missed you! We miss you all! 🙂
Reading up on our hotel! So cute–they had their own children’s book!
Pretty tile work at the hotel entrance
Our first morning, Conrad and I set out to see some of our favorite London highlights.
Buckingham Palace on a beautiful blue sky day!
Running around F&M. Mama did not get to look at the tea this time!
Before lunch at the St. James’s Church, Piccadilly food market
Ethiopian Food–YUM!
Leisurely stroll through Covent Garden. Cobblestone never fails to put him to sleep!
With my sweet friend, Caroline! So good to see you!
Smithfield Meat Market. John and I used to do breakfast dates here. We’d buy meat to last us for a few weeks, then go and have a coffee–with the meat on ice of course!
Playing in the churchyard of St. Bartholomew-the-Great. It’s the church of the fourth wedding in Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Experiencing history on our walk back to the hotel. Damage from WWI…
I love discovering beautiful new places in a city that I know well…
Projjal was also in London for work!!! Lovely to catch up at a pub 🙂 Love these guys!
With Simon, my former boss at LOVESPACE. I miss working with him as the second half of the Finance Team!
Some of the awesome LOVESPACE team. Miss you guys!

When in Britain…watching Peppa Pig!

View from our walk back to the hotel..I mean, does it get any prettier?

He already loves her 🙂
Yum–Mushy Peas!

London will always feel a little bit like home to us. We love it and miss it and are so thankful we have been able to make some new memories there with our little man!
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to spend time with us–we hope to see you all again very soon. 🙂
For now, onward to Stockholm!
