Our trip to London and Paris over the summer was AMAZING. Not onlt was Europe wonderful, but we loved having the opportunity to spend 16 days together 24/7! Since Michael is gone so much of the year for work, we needed this time to spend together. After waiting for our room for nearly 5 hours...after a long flight...we finally got showered and changed and headed out to our first pub!
Then we went to Covet Gardens did the first little bit of shopping. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped by St. James' park before going to bed early. We were still on California time and so very tired!!
The next day we continued to explore London. Our hotel was right by The London Eye and Big Ben so we felt very lucky to see them both every day.
Gretchen showed us this cute little wine bar in an old cave cellar. The next day we headed to Bath and loved seeing the inspiration for Jane Austen's novel, Persuasion. I was enthralled the entire time.
Sally Lunn's had the best brioche buns with cinnamon butter ever! The river (avon) was beautiful and we never wanted to leave. Well...until the train broke down later that evening and we couldn't leave until hours later...hehe.
Jane Austen and I got along famously :) The gardens in the town are beautiful!
The Roman baths were even more spectacular than I had imagined them.
Michael at Tower Bridge and in front of Big Ben.
The "New Globe" and getting ready for Les Miserables!
