First Stop: London

Shopping in Harrods! We didn't buy anything, obviously!

Big Ben picture overload? Maybe. It's one of my most favorite things to see in London, and I had never seen it at night before, so that was awesome. The first day of our England and France trip with Daniel's parents, started with taking a train from Durham to King's Cross. I think trains might be my favorite way of transportation. It was so nice to see the beautiful English countryside, while only taking a few hours to get to London. When we got there, we pretty much spent the rest of the day exploring, riding the tube, and stuffing ourselves (and I mean STUFFING) at one of our favorite Brazilian restaurants. The next day we ate at the most darling cafe for breakfast, which had the most delicious and fluffy blueberry pancakes. I also had the best English muffin I have ever had (In England, go figure). We rode the tube some more, admired the beautiful and colorful homes, and window shopped until it was time to catch our flight to Nice. I can't even express how much I love London. I would live here in a heartbeat. It was so much fun showing Daniel's parents around, and sharing our love of this city and country with them! Daniel's mom loved it when she would hear "mind the gap" and "Piccadilly." We had so much fun!
