21 February 2011- Beer, Wine, Sugar, and Walking. Welcome to London, Gram and Papa.

This has been the week of walking for hours (sorry Papa), spending hours in pubs drinking beer and wine (that'll make you feel better, Papa), and eating the best food. I don't want them to leave! I've gotten so accustomed to waking up early and starting my day off with a nice hotel breakfast buffet. How will I go back to my normal life... Since Gram and Papa have been to London before, we did things that they haven't done already: both Tate museums (which were so disappointing), Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, Camden Market, River cruise, Shakespeare's Globe, Natural History Musuem (the best one yet), Covent Garden, Big Ben's Cookies, pubs along the way, War museums, searching for Papa's old hangout across from the Royal Lancaster Hotel (we never found that pub), and the many experiences on the tube during rush hour.

Some highlights of the week:
-Reminding Gram to keep track of her clothing. She left her scarf in the hotel restaurant one night and then her Colombia vest in a pub at Covent Garden the next day. She surprisingly got both back!

-Papa and I laughing at Gram's attempt to say certain words...she likes to add extra syllables... Westminister and Covenent Garden :)

-Papa taking pictures of Gram and me walking far ahead of him...he calls it the rear view.

- Eating way too much sugar and having terrible headaches.

Man, this has been a great week!
