Our First Week!

Our first week has been a whirlwind, with more than a few adventures! We began with a couple days in New York visiting friends. Enjoying some nice weather, we walked around their neighborhood near NYU, including Washington Square and the Stonewall memorial, had some delicious treats from Sweet Corner Bake Shop - sweetcornernyc.com, as well as dinner out with my niece who lives there. 


The next day we spent some time at Trinity Wall Street, and saw some famous graves of our nation's founders who fought in the revolution. We then headed to Brooklyn to visit our friends' daughter, who just had her second child. Cuteness overload!




Arriving in London late on the 11th, we had a bit of a drama finding our hotel. Not fun after so much time traveling, but it worked out. We found our flat near Hyde Park the next day, and have been hitting all the historic sites we can the first couple days.




We all loved the river cruise and the Tower of London, the girls are still working on the treats from  M&M World, and I loved St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Amazing...especially Evensong at the former.
