Another Week..Another Trip to London

Yes, a trip to London, and what a great trip it was! It's one of my favorite cities, and happens to be where some of my favorite people are living. I spent the week enjoying good company, celebrating Andrew's upcoming birthday, and discovering new corners of the city that I had never previously seen.




Take a look at this view of Tower Bridge. I had just spent an hour exploring the Design Museum, and as we were walking out we were rewarded with a spectacular sunset. The bridge hardly even looks real!











The current exhibit at the Design Museum is about the life and work of a French engineer and designer named Jean Prouve. He was an incredible person, able to turn a concept into an elegant design, then translate the design into a detailed plan and even lay out the manufacturing process.











I went to visit Katherine at her work. She started working at a florist's a couple months ago. Despite her protests I made her stand out front so I could take her picture. Thanks Kat!!!

















Her place is just around the corner from St. Paul's Cathedral, so when she went back to work I walked along the Thames for an hour...














Happy Birthday Andrew! Though his real birthday is on the 26th, we celebrated early. Six of us went out for dinner, and we ordered one each of the six desserts on the menu! He's got the Knickerbocker Glory sitting in front of him!


















What better to come home to than my kids! I got them Thursday night when I came home, and this is Elise and Bennet snuggling in my bed this morning. It was a great week in London, but I did miss them..
