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 →]

Jack and I took a late morning walk today. I got coffee and we enjoyed being outside. It was gorgeous today. Then we came home and hung out at the apartment most of the day. [Read more →]

Another beautiful day. John was in the London office all day. I walked to Notting Hill, which is really nice. Gorgeous homes. Hit the Portabello Street Market. There are a lot of markets here in London but some are held only on certain days of the week. [Read more →]

The sun was shining when we set out today. It was beautiful outside! We grabbed a quick coffee and walked up Kensington Road to Kensington Palace and Gardens. Practically the entire property, which is acres and acres, is a memorial to Princess Diana. There is a memorial fountain, memorial playground, memorial walkways, etc. Very pretty place.

We headed out around 9am this morning. We found out on our way that Westminster Abbey that it is closed today and tomorrow due to Lent so we will try to go one morning next week. We got off at the Westminster stop anyway, saw Big Ben and Parliament and headed toward the London Eye. [Read more →]

Jack and I did quite a bit of walking today with Amy and her kids, Bruno and Isabel. John and Gabe headed in to the London office just after lunch and Amy and the kids and I set out. We walked to Hammersmith - where John and I had lunch the other day. We stopped for an afternoon beer at a pub. [Read more →]
