Today was an exciting day. I got up and went to the airport. I went and looked around and didn't recognize anyone. I got a coffee from Starbucks, and when I went back I saw two smiling faces, and a few steps more I saw two more smiling faces. Finally, my mom, dad, sister, and Aunty Karen were here!
They drooled over my coffee so that was our first stop. We then navigated the tube station to their hotel, and were met by their two teeny tiny rooms. Fortunately, I don't think it will matter...those grumps are going to sleep good tonight! (I can only write that because they don't have access to a computer and can't read what I write about them. HA! HA! I feel drunk with power!)
We slowly mosied around Hyde park. Got a late lunch, early dinner on the water. Then walked to Buckingham Palace. My fourth time visiting, and I'm still in pictures.
Just a heads up, today was not the day that Prince William saw me and fell instantly in love. I still have four and a half days to make it happen, though, so, no sweat!
Then I sent them on their way back to the hotel and caught a movie. I saw The Edge of Love with Keira Knightly, Sienna Miller, and Cillian Murphy. It's not out in the states yet, so that's how I can get away with seeing it here and feel like i'm still doing something that I can't do at home!
Now I am off to bed. I'm meeting up with the folks after they tour St. Paul's Cathedral. I don't need time to try and cross the Millenium Bridge again!
Then we are going to take a Beatles walking tour, and visit Abbey Road. This was requested by dad, and what better day to do it than on his birthday?
What did I learn while "studying" abroad? Once again, flashing the windows of Buckingham Palace did not lure the prince out. I guess I'm just going to have to be more aggressive!
