London Trip 2008

Titling my blog w/ "2008" means that I hope next year I will be blogging about my London Trip 2009. I love London! I went for a few days when I was 17, and it was alright. By now at my more mature age of 34...I fell in love w/ this city. Culture, beauty, classy, fun, clean, nice people, of course AMAZING shopping...on and on. It started on November 4th in the LA airport when Todd and I met up w/ our traveling buddy...who else? Jimmy G of course!

After 10 hours on a plane sandwiched between these 2 wonderful men I was ready to get going and see the sights! One interesting note, we found out who our President was by a flight attendant announcing it over the intercom...
Once we got in we took a cab ride to Windsor, where we stayed for the first 2 days/nights. What a beautiful town. The Windsor Castle was just amazing, and the hotel we stayed at was right on the river looking at the castle and the bridge over the river to Eton.


More exploring of Windsor...


After our few days in Windsor, off to the main city of London. We stayed right along Hyde park on Park Ave...we stayed at a gorgeous hotel...the best beds ever! The only problem is that it took a long time to get out of bed in the morning...which I guess isn't a problem considering this never happens w/ 2 young boys at home!
Our hotel lobby...

First night a fancy dinner out at Sushi...

The sushi was AMAZING...look below, that is an actual picture of our meal! Too perfect! And it tasted just as good as it looks!

The rest of the time, more eating and sight seeing...
Big Ben... Harrod's at night

Day at Green Park w/ the boys...

A night at the theatre...Billy Elliott

Last night the 3 of us...I'm off to home and the boys off to Munich for more business...

Peace out...
