Good bye Guernsey

Hello Dinard

A Rainy Sunday

The Natural History Museum- setting up the ice skating rink.

Fleet Street- London's Wall Street. The Old Bank of London was turned into a pub.  Great find dad!  Next visit, we will make sure we don't try to stop in for a pint on Sunday!

And MORE Sight Seeing ...

...and the weather was definitely not on our side! 
We had about 6 hours to pound the pavement with my parents before we headed back to Guernsey and they headed north to the English countryside.

Westminster Abbey

National Remembrance Day

Big Ben

Parliament

Our First London Show

Covent Garden and our first Christmas Tree sighting

Picadilly Circus to see Thriller

My Mom and Dad arrive FINALLY! Better late then never! We had a quick night cap then it was off to bed for a good night sleep. A long day of sight seeing to follow!

London

We have been in Guernsey for 3 months and the excitement had been building for our first visitors. We were in need of some familiar faces and the homesickness had start to set in... just a little bit! After the disappointing news that my parents would be arriving a day late, Josh was dead set on getting out and enjoying the sights of London on our own.


The changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace

The gates of the palace

Trafalgar Square

So stereotypical...but just had to.

The Beer is in Sight

The end of a long hike/bike at our neighborhood bar.
