Hello everyone! I apologize for the delay in posting pictures from London and Paris. However, we took so many that it took some time to edit, delete, etc. There are a ton of them, even after careful review, so feel free to pick and choose the ones you want to view. The two links below are to the London and Paris photos, respectively. Enjoy!

Today was our last full day in London. It was another beautiful day. The weather here really has been in our favor. Very chilly and windy but clear and sunny for the most part. After our coffee stop in Holland Park, we walked up through Notting Hill and then, on a whim, caught the train to the Borough Street Market. [Read more →]

We decided to go to Harrod’s this morning. John wanted to see what all the hype was about and once inside he said “This place is like the Louvre….you could get lost and spend all day in here”. [Read more →]

Now that I have vented about our crappy day yesterday, I am over it and I will tell you what we actually accomplished yesterday…quite a bit. We began by going to Museum d’Orsay. It is located in what used to be a train station. [Read more →]

So all of my entries up until this point have been happy and positive. I really don’t like to complain but I need to vent! We have had a very trying day today. [Read more →]

We got up early today and walked to the Louvre. It is about 1 mile from our hotel. Not a bad walk but it was lightly raining the whole way there. We arrived at the perfect time. It had only been open for about 30 minutes and we think the rain scared some people away. [Read more →]

We have not had internet for the past two days, so my apologies to all of my loyal fans! Oh, and photos are coming….hopefully tonight. We have some terrific ones and will post them asap! We are in Paris and loving it. [Read more →]

Made our way to Westminster Abbey today. John and I both agree that we will never tire of this spectacular place. As long as I continue to visit London, I think I will continue to go to Westminster Abbey. Focusing more on a particular area or seeing something I didn’t see before….either way it never gets old.

Today was officially John’s last day of work and then vacation it is! Jack and I rode the train to Oxford with Amy, Bruno and Isabel this morning. The Oxford area is a major shopping district. Shops, boutiques, restaurants everywhere. There were so many people out. It was really cold and rainy today. But that didn’t stop us. [Read more →]

We walked to the Holland Park tube station with John this morning and got coffee and breakfast. Then we parted ways: John went to meet the CIO of the law firm - who just arrived from Atlanta this a.m. - and take him on a tour of the data facility. Jack and I wandered through the streets of Holland Park. Those homes are amazing. [Read more →]
