London Town

I am still here!  I've been super busy hence the almost month that has passed since my last entry.  I've been working on about 5 posts, but none are finished; however, I'm thinking y'all are getting tired of seeing my last post!  By the way, thank you for your prayers and gifts (Barb!!) because Seth has only done this once since I wrote that post, and it happened to be the first night that Taylor's mom was in town.  She had come prepared thanks to Barbara who sent us some peepee teepees!  OK, enough about bodily functions...

We are heading to LONDON soon with our dear friends Jonathan and Elise.  I have never been before, so this is a HUGE deal for me.  I have been an anglophile most of my teen and adult life - I have read fiction (Dickens, Shakespeare, Jane Austen of course, lots of Phillipa Gregory, and let's be honest, the whole Shopaholic series), non-fiction (biographies), and travel books. You name it; I've probably read it, so I can't even wait to see in person all of the places I have read about over the past 15 years.  I am slightly overwhelmed because I know there is a ton to see, but we will only be there for a couple of days, so bloggy friends, I need your help paring it down!  If you have been to London, leave a comment for me on one "must see."  I am especially interested in the historical aspect of it (Henry the VIII - Elizabethan period) and after watching the Royal Wedding (twice!), the present monarchy.

Here are some photos showing what we've been up to lately:
