We're going to London tomorrow to celebrate our anniversary. I'm really looking froward to it. I've had an on going love affair with London since moving here. I find it to be a magical place and wish we could live there. I have often said that I wish I could take the beauty and charm of England and put it into America, that way I could have the best of both worlds.
We're going to dinner and a play and staying over night in a really nice hotel. I've been debating with myself on whether or not to spend the money on a hotel or not, but I'm so glad I booked it. I booked through priceline.com and saved about $110 and we'll be staying in a 4 star hotel right near the palace. I'm like a little kid in London and get really excited about the tourist type places. Every time I see Big Ben, I get childlike and say things like 'look babe, it's Big Ben!' as if I'm seeing it for the very first time. I haven't seen it in a while so I'm hoping we're not far from it. We'll have to go back when the weather is warmer so I can enjoy the sites and take loads of pictures. I will miss London when we leave, but will have a new appreciation for NYC and all of it's glory.
My in-laws just left after a five day visit. I don't mind it being a five day visit, but then again, five days of your house not being your own is always a bit unsettling and although I don't look forward to their departure when they are here, I can't say I'm sad to have things go back to normal. As a treat for my son's birthday, we took him to the Museum of Natural History in London on Thursday. He chose to go because we took him last year (he's been crazy about dinosaurs since he was three years old). They give out adventure packs at the museum which consist of a back pack, safari hat, and binoculars with an adventure to follow during their visit. The back pack has clues in it to solve a mystery. Last year it had a dinosaur claw, a tooth and a sample of dinosaur skin he had to match up to one on display. He had a great time solving the mystery and even remembered which dinosaur it ended up being. Last year's trip was wonderful. We walked right in,
