Hello from London!
Wow, what a vacation! We are ready to settle down and relax for awhile! Ready or not, it is time to begin living in London.
We arrived in London on a Saturday and there was a driver waiting for us when we got off the plane. It took us almost 2 hours by taxi to get to our flat but we got to see much of London on the way. Lady Gaga was in town that night and there was a festival going on, so the traffic was horrible! It was neat to see the houses change and we drove into town. From the suburbs...
to city living, it was neat to see both sides of London.
Along the way we saw many things, like the infamous red phone booths:
to Big Ben:
and the London Eye:
We cannot wait to go exploring!! That first evening, we decided to walk to Kyle's building to see it up close and personal. Very close to the Gherkin (where Kyle will work), we passed this pub:
I thought is was very fitting to be near 2 very large insurance companies. Then, we looked up...
It was unbelievable!!! There it was!!
It is very neat to stand up close and look up. Kyle was super excited to get inside and see where he would be working but not for another day. Colston loved it!!
This look says it all, "Wow, Mommy!"
The Gherkin is awesome! Hopefully, we can go to the top floor one of these days!! :) We haven't seen much, but know that this will be a very memorable experience!!
