London

Note to self: Eight month old babies and 9 hour plane rides don't mix well. Use extreme caution, or better yet, avoid at all costs.

Except for the ride there and back, London was fabulous. It was nice to actually take time to see the city instead of flying in to jump on a plane to somewhere else. The most amazing thing that happened on the trip is that Savannah slept 18 hours once we got there. We put her to bed on Saturday night at 6pm, she woke up 6 hours later to nurse, and then went right back to sleep until noon. I actually had to wake her up at noon. What a sleepy head. Where's Benjamin? He hung out at both sets of grandparents for the week.

Here are some of our highlights:

First stop - McDonald's. Sadly, no iced coffee at Mickey D's in London so I settled for a cappucino.












Savannah's first London pub experience and believe it or not, we weren't the only parents with a baby in this pub! Funny. We have a similar picture of Benjamin and me in a pub in Scotland so we had to do the same for Savannah.












Shopping at Harrod's. The place is massive. It's a full block and 5 levels. I'm not much of a shopper so we only made it through 2 levels. But it's definitely a shopper's paradise.












A poster in the Underground. We thought it was funny.












David and Savannah in the tunnel waiting on the train.












The Highgate tube station where David lived.












Savannah was pooped! She's sleeping peacefully in her backpack as we hike all over London.












Savannah and David eating at David's favorite pizza place (Pizza Express) while he lived in London. Yes, she's in pj's and all I have to say is that it was REALLY cold and all of her warm clothes were dirty. At that point I didn't feel like figuring out the odd washer/dryer combo in our apartment so she spent the day in pj's....












A picture of David and Savannah in front of where he lived in London.












Me on the very long escalator in the tube. It actually frightened me at first, I hate heights, but we rode it so many times I got used to it.












Another funny sticker in the tube. Did you see how big the "rucksack" was in the picture above with Savannah in it? Yeah, so, we hit a few things here and there with it...and people too. Crazy Americans.












Kelly and Savannah in front of the British museum. Yes, it's there, can't see it in the picture though. But we did actually go in it.












Kelly and Savannah in front of Big Ben and Westminster.












The street that our "flat" a.k.a. apartment was on.












Don't let the sweet smile fool you...she was an absolute bear all the way home on the plane. Glad that ride is over with.
