On Saturday we got up and walked around enjoying the pretty weather.

We did al little shopping and stopped in Harvey Nichols and then went into Harrod’s. I had been in Harrod’s before but did not remember just how massive it was! We started at the top and worked our way down and around every single floor – that took all day! We ended up having lunch there and had some of the best pizza ever…

On the way home we walked through Hyde Park and saw the Christo installation, “The London Mastaba”. It was cool to see that considering I had been in NY during the installation of “The Gates”.

The view of it from our hotel room…

That night we headed out for the wedding! Black tie and looking sharp!

After a (lengthy) cocktail hour…

we had a great dinner with the Little Rock crew at “US Pizza” table!

Of course there was plenty of fun to be had on the dance floor!

A wonderful wedding, a fantastic trip, and lots of memories made! Thankfully our trip home on Sunday was uneventful and we had 3 happy campers waiting for us back in Birmingham! Cheerio!

Back in July, Robert and I took the most fun trip to the other side of the pond! We went to London for the wedding of one of my childhood friends and lived it up! Thanks to GJ and Daddo, we even flew over in style! First class all the way!

We made it with no problems – because we drove to Atlanta that day to catch our flight instead of sitting in the Birmingham airport waiting for that leg to be cancelled! We even stood in the customs line behind Keira Knightly when we arrived! Fun! To fight off the jet lag, we just decided to keep going for the day and made our way over to the London Eye where we met up with Jeff and Erin…

We then got settled into the hotel and headed out to an early dinner…

We had dinner at Sexy Fish and it was excellent!

We got up the next day and had the breakfast of my dreams next to an open window with temps in the low 70s. Basically perfect.

We then headed over to see the Queen. Sadly, she missed our appointment but I waved at her anyway and then toured the state rooms of her palace and also checked out the Mews.

We then headed over to Sketch for tea. It was quite the experience!! Scones and tea sandwiches and caviar! and eggs for bathrooms! Robert was a very good sport. 🙂

That afternoon we decided to head over to the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels. They were pretty but, man, it was HOT outside and all the lines were outside. In fact, our whole trip to London was HOT! But, at least it wasn’t raining!

That night we met up with my other AR friends for dinner at The Social and had another excellent meal.

After dinner we finally got to see the Groom to be, Frank!

Friday brought some good shopping, down time, and lunch with my college friend, Kelly.

Fun all around – but the real fun was just beginning! More to come!
