London..Girl's Trip!

To capture all that we have done in the last few weeks I have to back up to the weekend before we left for Portugal.  My friend, Jenny and I were searching trips online (which seems to be a favorite past-time for both of us) and we came across these 12 Euro (15 dollars) flight tickets to London! Well, we couldn't pass up a deal like that and although we didn't have much time to squeeze in a trip, we decided that a 24 hour (Sat. morning- Sun. morning) girls trip would do the trick. There were 6 of us that decided to go and we had the BEST time!  We had the 24 hours packed of fun and it was perfect!

It was the best day because the weather was PERFECT!  Seriously, London is known for it's cloudy weather.  We took a city bus tour and had so much fun seeing the sights.  Marc & I went to London with my sister & her husband years ago (when we lived in Italy) and went in the London Eye then (that HUGE ferris wheel you see in the pic).  Remember the trip, Brenda!? :)

Love this pic my friend captured.  That is Big Ben.

We took the hop on/ hop off city tour so one of the stops we got off at was Buckingham Palace.  These are all the girls that went... (from left) Kim, me, Jenny, Jocelynn, Jennie, & Kari (in front).  Such a great group of girls!

We had to take this picture with the tour guide.  By this time we had been on 3 different buses and he was by far our favorite guide!

London is such a cool city!

After the day of touring the city we had a couple more stops that we took the tube too...first, Harrods (where we could only look...wowsers, the prices were high) and then to dinner and then too....

This is how we ended our night.  I have been wanting to see Wicked for years so it was SO MUCH FUN to go see it!

It was such a GREAT time and I am so thankful to all our husbands who watched the kids so we could have a girls trip...we are all so blessed!
