Little bit of London


So the boy and I just got back from a 10 day whirlwind trip in England and Ireland.  It was mainly to see family, but we managed to squeeze in some touristy outings (and some Desolation Dancing) as well.  I'll share images of all our adventures over the coming weeks, but first up: London!

We were only able to spend 1 day in London (which is a shame because it's one of my favorite places in the world) but we still got to see some of the best sites the city has to offer.  Plus we didn't get rained on one bit! 

where they make the pointe shoes
Geese!
The London Eye
Elaborate bridges
Downing a pint!
St James' Park (my favorite place)
They wrote "Rule Britannia" in the pub
Clouds over the Thames
The Queen lives just around the corner...

Hi there, thanks for sharing your London adventures. I remember saving and saving and saving for my first pair of pointe shoes and they were Freed's!!!!! I never did get to the store when I was in London.

Enjoy your day and greetings from sunny South Africa

I enjoyed looking at all of your pictures! I have always wanted to go to London but have not made it there (yet).

I am totally jealous of your pictures from London. I love it there! It's my favorite city! I studied abroad there and since then I've always just loved anything to do with the city. Looks like you made the most of your day!

Freed's!! This looks like such an awesome trip, I'm quite jealous. This is probably mine and the Boy's dream trip (you'll have to give us some tips someday!)

And your fox hat? Ah-dorable
