Life Sans Enfants

To celebrate the last child departing the nest, 

(bye Bryson) 

we went on our first honeymoon that did not involve Granny and Grandpa's Camper. We were able to visit three countries and see three cultures in just under three weeks.

We definitely redefined the meaning of "Antique" along the way.

Here are the highlights.

1st Stop - LONDON

We stayed right downtown at The Savoy, within walking distance of

Trafalgar square, considered the central meeting place and heart of the City.

We walked down to the Palace of Westminster and saw...

Big Ben and the House of Parliament.

Very cool.

We strolled along the River Thames and took in the sights.

We saw Westminster Abby....

 So beautiful.

We laughed when this double decker bus drove by. Here's to you Elder Prince :)

London was certainly beautiful in the spring time - 

This is St. James Park next to Buckingham Palace.

That night we walked up to Drury Lane to see the muffin man. He wasn't there, so we went to the National New London Theatre to see the production of: 

It was impressive and inspirational to see this play in Europe where the world wars happened.

(Interesting side note - War horse was translated into German and is now also playing in Berlin - marking the first time Germany is discussing on stage their role in the wars).

No trip to London is complete without a visit to a local Pub.

We chose "The Shakespeare" and had traditional roast beef with Yorkshire's.

Delicious!

After some shopping on Oxford street,
it was on to...

PARIS

Stay tuned.
