This is it... our last post from London. =( All the following posts will be from the US, which isn't nearly as much fun!! Hahaha. But they'll probably all be pictures, so I guess they will still be fun. =)
Today was a relaxed day. We shopped this morning (Terri's idea, mind you) at Selfridges, a big name department store here in London. It was much more reasonable than Harrods. =) We bought way too many souvenirs here. We don't want to spoil the fun, so no pictures or descriptions of those until AFTER we give them away. =)
After shopping, we went to the cinema, which is not a big to-do here. It is, however, EXPENSIVE! Wow. You will all appreciate the prices of our movie theaters much better when we tell you our tickets cost a whopping £12 ($18!!!!). Seriously! We spent over £35 ($50) there today. Yikes!!!! Our flick of choice was Leap Year, which I believe we have in the US. It was super cute. =) We loved it. =) The cinema was very strange though. We think it had about 6 floors. Hahahah. Our movie was in theater 9, which was on the top floor. It was veryyyyy weird!!
We meandered around Trafalgar Square after that and finally made our way back to the hotel. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant called "Pizza Express." I was leary, but it was REALLY GOOD!! We had garlic cheese bread for an appetizer, four cheese pizza (yes - again! We like our cheese!), and for dessert Ashley had cheesecake and Terri had Benoffee Pie. =) OH BOY was it delicious! I now weigh nearly twice as much. =) We also tried Pimms, which is British sangria. That too was a winner!! It was soooooo yummy!!
Sadly, we have no pictures today. =( We never found anything photo worthy. Hahaha. Our plan now is to pack, pray that our suitcases don't weigh too much, and relax for the night. Our flight home tomorrow leaves at 9:55am from here and will arrive around 2pm there... It's 9 hours in the air but only 4 in real time! How strange is that?! We'll probably take a few days off from the blog to recooperate, but we PROMISE lots more pictures starting again sometime next week. =)
This trip has been the trip of a lifetime. The memories we made (and 852 pictures we took) will always be special to us. I can't speak for Terri, but I plan on returning at some point. It's just so amazing here!
We'll see you all (or most of you!) on Monday if not sooner. =) Thanks for following our blog and remember we'll be back with more pictures!!
