Just got in from a fabulous long weekend in London! We really had fun and they forecasted rain for the whole weekend but guess what, it rained only a tiny bit today, not even half an hour! Highlights? So many! We enjoyed shopping on Oxford Street, playing with Thomas Tank at Hamley's on Regent, chasing pigeons at Trafalgar Square, following Princess Di's Memorial pathway past Buckingham Palace, eating Indian, Pret a Manger and Marks&Sparks, sipping on a pint or two, watching a bit of BBC, zooming around in a little black cab and on a double decker bus, on the tube and finally just being together, the three of us! And that was just day one! No, just kidding. We stayed at a nice little hotel called Lancaster Court at Sussex Gardens near Paddington Station. Baby was a peach as usual and took in all the sites with great interest. We met another little guy, also 18 months old, and it turns out, having the exact same birthday and wearing the exact same Gap winter coat! We also saw lots of horses since we stayed near Hyde Park and Baby liked making horse sounds and putting his finger in the air and pretending to be on a horse. We saw the changing of the horse guards by chance and Baby was enthralled. Didn't hook up with auntie as # was out of service but did hook up with another aunt which was great. Lots of fun! Will add pictures later!
