The Dream Came True...

... and we can't wait to share it with you!

First, London...


we went to Buckingham Palace

strolled St. Jame's Park
stared in amazement at Westminster Abby


were super excited to see the red, British phone booths


shrugged and said "nah" to the London Eye


searched for the perfect shot of St. Paul's Cathedral


couldn't believe we got to see Shakespeare's Globe


kept repeating the words of Clarke W. Griswald, "Big Ben. Parliament."


walked the Millennium Bridge...
 me, referencing Bridget Jones; him referencing the Death Eaters from Harry Potter

We also fell in love with sticky toffee pudding, Pimms, Hyde Park, Harrod's, cabs and fish and chips. 

We really enjoyed our time in London and we wished could have gone into the country side but there was just no time.  We both said we we were a bit disappointed in London; the blend of new and old wasn't smooth, actually it was almost jarring.  It was really expensive, very upscale and, at times, intimidating.

As we set off on the next lag of our trip via EuroStar, we worried that Paris was not going to live up to our expectations.
Oh boy, we were in for the most magical surprise... PARIS!
