Europe - Day 13

Our last day in Europe was spent in London. My friend Cristen and her husband are living the ex-pat life there and Cristen served as our tour guide since she had the day off!

We loved the cloudy, rainy weather but it did hamper our photography for the day and I just realized that Mike and I didn't take a picture of ourselves when we were there. Ugh! I guess we'll just have to go back. :-)

We walked around and saw Westminster Abbey...


Big Ben and the London Eye...
Some of the soldiers guarding different government buildings...

Walked by Trafalgar Square...
And, of course, visited Harrods and met up with Lauren (who is working at our alma mater's program in England while her husband studies at Oxford) and enjoyed tea and macaroons at Laduree. Oh, and Mike officially wins the "Husband of the Year" award for hanging out with a bunch of girls for the day! :-)

Cristen and Jason, thank you for being such wonderful hosts. It was so good to see both of you and Lauren!
We ended the night at Cantina Laredo for dinner with Cristen and Jason and then headed back to their house to call it a night.

Mike and I flew home the next morning and can't believe our amazing trip has already come and gone!
