Been a while!


Well since we last updated Ryan and I have been keeping very busy! We’ve moved onto London and have been traveling all over. We’ve had a few adventures since we got here- I stuck my feet in the English Channel, Ryan finally tried Pimms (My favorite British drink of all time), and this morning we accidentally broke into Westminster Abbey before it was open! We’ve also done a tour of the Houses of Parliament & Westminster Palace, seen the White Cliffs of Dover, gone up in the London Eye and checked out the British Public Library where we saw the original Guttenberg Bible! The only downside so far has been trying to find breakfast – it’s been a nearly impossible feat every day and although I don’t mind picking up a Porridge to-go, somebody (ahem) thinks it tastes like glue. We’ve also been missing our internet (which is why this update is soo delayed) and AC (and cold water.. very strange hotel) but it’s starting to cool down into the 70’s here so we’re much better today. So far we’ve had nothing but hot sunny days (as I jinx it all), haven’t had a very typical experience in Ireland or England. Can’t wait to go to Paris where it was 100* today!!! We’ve still got time for it to cool down though. Tomorrow we are heading up to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle which should be a fun but very long day so more to come later! Here’s some of the highlights until then.
Big Red with Big Ben!


Trying his hardest to get into to Hogwarts… Luckily King’s Cross Station can tell its wizards from its tourists!





Just don't look down!

Ryan, his Pimms, and the Tower Bridge- AMAZING spot for lunch tucked away behind the tower of London and the bridge.

So far so good on the weather…this is what its been like the whole time!

Somebody found a Blue’s Clue!


In the English Channel!





















Like I said we've got plenty more to share and to see, but for now Cheerio London!
