England in Pictures, Part 3

I played tour guide for the most part, making sure we hit all the classic London tourism spots.  

We walked through Trafalgar Square,

 visited the Houses of Parliament,

took classic England tourist shots,

and strolled through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens to see

the Peter Pan statue

and the Prince Albert Memorial

We visited St Paul's Cathedral, one of my favorite places on earth,

and Buckingham Palace as well.

Of course, we drank lots of tea,

and even caught a glimpse of the Queen herself!

the ultimate milkshake

Chiles Pies in San Fransisco makes a mean milkshake.  Apparently, you choose your ice cream flavor and then a slice of pie -- it all goes into the blender together to make what I am sure is the most extravagantly delicious concoction known to man.   Woah.

LEGO

This dude is a "Lego certified professional."  How cool is that?  I really, really love Legos and have often thought about what a fun job it would be to design the Lego kits... but my imagination never took me quite this far.  Wow!

England in Pictures, Part Two

We spent a day visiting a couple villages in the Cotswolds.   

It may be one of the most charming places in the world.  I want a cottage in the Cotswolds.  Definitely. 

Keep Calm and...

For all the ballyhoo surrounding the Keep Calm and Carry On slogan,  I never knew the back story.  I found this video to be enjoyable (and educational).

Happy Summer!

It's official.  Summer is here.
