The last 36? (I don’t know. Time zones are confusing.) hours have been crazy. We flew from St. Louis to Reykjavik, Iceland, then on to London: Gatwick. A driver brought us and our eight(!) suitcases to our hotel in the middle of London. After lunch at a Subway (normalcy for the kids) and a short nap, we went exploring a little. 

The look on the girls face when we turned the corner and saw the London Eye was worth every minute of the journey. Big Ben (Elizabeth Tower) is apparently under construction and is less than impressive at the moment. We walked across Westminster Bridge and around Westminster Abbey before stopping for supper at a pub that was established in 1777. Fish and chips and Guinness! 

We’re back at the hotel now and getting ready to settle in, while everyone in Evansville is finishing lunch. So weird. I’m attaching a few pictures below.
