Visiting our British Relative.....

Yup, that is Kristen in the flesh! She is still as beautiful as ever and a most delightful tour guide as well. This was us in front of Westminster Abbey (amazing!) after a long day of travel. Kris was so nice to take us to all of the big tourist stops this day, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, and the River Thames.
The next day was more tourist stops, the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the British Library, and tasting some delicious fish and chips. This is me as a solo tourist in front of one of my favorite sites, Tower Bridge. I don't know why but that thing is pretty dang cool.
This is from the "field trip" into the country side. Warwick was a little cheesy but the grounds were awesome and this picture over looking the River Avon is pretty cool. We also went to Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, and the Cotswolds.
Back to London. I was VERY happy to see Kristen again. I am sure that she wasn't too excited about going out with me that night, but did a great job of it anyway. Not only was she great at taking me to see the sights, she was particularly good at taking me to enjoy the tastes! I had no idea how yummy all of the sweet treats would be (lets just say I was pleasantly surprised!!!) The first picture needs no explanation, for none could do this luscious orange cake justice. The second is a most tasty crepe from the Portobello market, and the third was the delicious peppermint tea from the Orangery at Kennsington Palace.










Despite a few hang ups along the way, this trip was great! It was so good to see you Kris! You are an amazing girl and thank you so much for taking me around. Thanks to all those at home who put up with odd hours to help me out as well....I appreciate all your help!
