Here we go...

So we are here in London! We left yesterday from Houston and after a stop in Atlanta, and then an all night flight we got to our hotel. The hotel is great! (Thanks for the recommendation Gardners) The room is incredibly small but after being up almost 28 hours we LOVE IT! Today has been spent sight seeing and trying to stay awake so that the time change will be easier (Barbara's eyes are drooping as I write.) We took a train to central London and visited Buckingham Palace which, for a Palace, was really hard to locate! :) We ate at a little restaurant called Bella Itallia which was YUMMY! We also went to St. James Court and St. James Park (for all you Pride and Prejudice fans it is the place that Sir William Lucas is always talking about.) On our way back to the hotel we picked up some Cornish pastries from a local bakery that says they are award winning. We will see at dinner. It has been a great day. We even got to talk to Dad! I will attach pics later- the connection is not good right now.
Thanks to everyone who has been a part of this. We love you!
Cheerio!
