They're Here

After months of eager anticipation......THEY'RE HERE! Gucci and Great arrived and spent the first day doing exactly what we expected, resting. It was so much fun to see their cute little faces walk through the door and give us all a big squeeze. I am blessed with an amazing mom and the most freakishly fantastic grandmother in the world. Sunday evening we went over to neighbour Hugh and Mary's home for dinner, it was a lot of fun to introduce my family to them and to mingle and munch.

It is true that day 1 was restful, but, I wasn't going to allow that to be our continued pace. Days 2 and 3 were spent in Bromley at a store called Primark where we chatted, we ate, and we shopped. Perfection. On day 4 we finally ventured into London central and thus the "tourist" London began.

Buckingham Palace

Victoria Monument

Buckingham from a distance.

Random pelican sitting on a bench at St. James Park. Had to pet it :)

All the single ladies, all the single ladies.

Changing of the Guard on horseback.

All the single ladies, all the single ladies.

Gucci and Great LOVED Westminster Abbey and were able to get a play by play of where the wedding would take place, where the bride would enter, the groom, where the families would sit, etc... This was a highlight for them, along with seeing the Coronation Chair.

Hullo?

In all his glory.

Beheading on the Thames.....dum dum dum.

No sooner had we seen the sights than it was time to race back to Chelsfield to pick the Pink One up from school. I think we were all happy to be heading home for much needed rest and some quality time with the piggies. All in all it was a very productive and successful first "tourist" day in London.
