London, England




































We just returned from spending the past 5 days in London. We saw all the big touristy sites such as the London Bridge, Big Ben, the London Eye (rode the London Eye), Buckingham Palace and the changing of the Gaurd just to name a few. It was so nice to be able to speak English, although with their thick English accents, we couldn't always understand them! Ahhhh...what a simple luxury to be able to read a menu in a restaurant and actually know what you are ordering!!!! Although, we must admit, that fish and chips with mushy peas is NOT one of our favorites. But their sticky toffee pudding definately makes up for that!
Ericka will tell you the biggest highlight of our trip was going to see The Sound of Music at the London Palladium theater. What a treat for both her and mom!!!! We both really enjoyed the show and the whole experience of the London theater.
I just had to include a picture of the messages painted on the street corners to remind you which way to look for oncoming traffic before you cross the street. Being that they drive on the other side of the road (the left) in addition to driving on the right hand side of the car- it's all so very confusing! We were very thankful that we had these constant reminders for ourselves!!
