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.

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.

Our Bikes Made It!


My kickstand is missing, my gears are a bit off...but that didn't stop us from a Sunday ride around the southern cliffs of Guernsey. We find something new and amazing everytime we step out of our front door!




The public swimming pool. And yes, we did see a gentleman swimming in 50 degree weather.
