London Day 5 & 6

So the story continues.  London day 5 has been another great day.

The day started with head colds.  I ventured out to th London New Year's Day parade which was a great production.  It had been a while since I attended a parade with lots of marching bands and even with street productions.  The New Year's Day parade is equivalent to our Macy's day parade.  It was slightly cold and windy but it was definitely worth battling Mother Nature.

Day 6

Yesterday we took a day trip to Stonehenge. We really didn't know what to expect but I believe we were both in awe and amazement.  Stonehenge is in the country side of London.  So there is lots of open land and even pigs, and sheep being farmed. 

The Stonehenge exhibit is well arranged. There is a visitor center and then busses take you to the stones.  

Well we are now sitting in the admirals club and making our way home from Heathrow.  I'm grateful for this opportunity.  This trip has given me some amazing realizations.  My suggestion to everyone who reads this post is that you pick up

The phone and call your best friend, brother, sister, spouse, or significant other and plan the trip of your lives.  Tomorrow is never promised.  Be intentional about today!!!

Much Love!

London Day 4

The last 4 days in London have been unbelievable.  We've gone from being extremely busy to a much slower pace. 

On day 4 (Thursday) we were planned to view the changing of the guard.  However, Mother Nature and our bodies had another plan.  We both woke up with congestion and sore throats.  

We gathered ourselves grabbed lunch from an amazing burger boutique (Byron) and then walked through the neighborhood that we are currently staying in. Islington is a beautiful neighborhood.  It looks like something right out of a romantic comedy.  In fact, we actually stumbled into a wedding.  Side note:  I'm very impressed with the Brits and their fashions. London is home of the skinny pant.

After our walk we returned to our hotel watched a movie, and prepares ourselves for dinner.  Our New Years Wve dinner took place at an Italian restaurant which is adjacent to our hotel.  I had a fear that if we wasted a lot of time looking for a restaurant that time would start to work against us and we would end up only being able to eat in the hotel restaurant.  We enjoyed our dinner, actually we enjoyed dessert (Honeycomb cheesecake) more than dinner.

We finished dinner and spent the evening on our hotel room.  Two bottles of champagne and toast and for 12:30 a.m. yours truly was snoring.

Happy New Year!!!  Nothing planned for day 5.  So I'll post more on Sunday!
