While it was mostly nice to have a weekend to relax and be lazy, I also had lots of time to think and gain clarity about a lot that has been running through my mind recently.
However, what was also great were the few adventures I was able to have with my friends this weekend!
On Sunday, I visited the famous Hamley's toy store with Phoebe and Derek! It was a great place for us, as we are all just really big kids at heart! The Hamley's Store is 6 levels of toys, games, puzzles, electronics, books, candy, stuffed animals, and just random stuff that no child needs but every child wants!
We each made a new friend...
We toured every floor and had lots of fun!
Phoebe found Thomas the Tank Engine....
and then we found Kate & William, Charles, and Harry!
But the best find of all....
THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND!
This is probably as close to meeting the real Queen as I am going to get...and this one is made out of Lego!
A great time was had at Hamley's by all!
The rest of the weekend was spent soaking up the England sunshine as much as possible!
Today, Kelly & Matt, their friends Matt & Dayna, and I went to Ravencourt Park near Hammersmith and enjoyed a picnic lunch and some suntanning!
Everyone in London really does flock to the park or any sort of green space when the temperature is nice and the sun is "supposed" to be shining. Often times there is a lot of "cloud soup" blocking the sun but it does make an appearance more often than people think it does!
Even Friday was a lovely day, and since I didn't get work I spent the afternoon in St. James Park near Buckingham Palace reading and suntanning.
Buckingham Palace looking beautiful in the springtime with the tulips in full bloom!
London is definitely a pretty city in the springtime when the flowers are blooming, the trees are blossoming, and the city is bright again!
