We've seen London, We've seen France....

This past weekend we visited the United Kingdom, specifically, staying in Guilford and touring London. We drove to a port in France, took a ferry across the canal, then drove to Guilford.

The town was very nice with lots of shopping and a couple wonderful Starbucks just a few doors down! (Needless to say, I got my "fix" over the weekend!)

Thursday was mostly travelling.

Planning the trip.

Friday we spent the morning in town - me shopping and Chris at work. (The kids had a sitter, WAY out of my comfort zone, but it worked out really well.)

Friday afternoon we went in to London by train and spent the rest of the day there. We walked quite a bit to see many of the sights, including Big Ben, The London Eye, The Houses of Parliment, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and much more.

We ended the day Friday having dinner at the Original Hard Rock Cafe`.

Saturday was more sight-seeing, including a double-decker tour with a great guide.

Sunday we relaxed in the morning and spent the day walking around Guilford more and enjoyed a little "jewel" of a garden surrounding the remains of a castle just down the street from where we parked!

We had a wonderful time having a whirlwind tour, but I've started my list of things to go back and see NEXT time!
