The trip home in December was everything we had hoped for and much, much more. We had a busy 2 weeks visiting with everyone, but we wouldn't have had it any other way. No need to re-cap everyone we visited and spent time with, but know that you all mean the world to us! We ended the trip with a visit to the beach and hung out with my sister on NYE.
We went to see a comedy show!
After these few photos were taken, I realized that I had totally gone into the 'home' mode vs 'tourist' mode, as these were the only pictures I took the whole time we were home!
We were both in a little slump after leaving home... so we decided the best way to get back in the swing of things was to go for some burger and lobster. This place only 3 things on the menu: Burger, Lobster and Lobster Rolls. So we split the Burger and Lobster of course :)
He was trying to act like the bib..... and he succeeded!
To help round out the weekend, I went to an International Ice Sculpting Contest in Canary Warf. Despite the cool air and drizzle, it was actually pretty cool!
Here is an area view.....
The theme on Sunday was Fashion...
this team was aiming for 3 women under an umbrella
They had drawings in the corner
to help the visitors see what the end
sculptor was suppose to look like
This one was my favourite, with the little girl
blowing bubbles (once she is turned around)
What a view!!!!
The food was pretty amazing as well!
Jeff had gotten tickets for Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club the next day. It was great! We got to see Lettuce from Boston. They played some new edge Jazz... we loved it!
It is the beginning of Jeff's busy season, so I thought it was a perfect time to do some shopping at Harrods :) This store is a whole different world in itself... each designer has it's own room in the store.
While I may not be able to afford anything in the store, I pretended for a day and had my make-up done :)
You never know what is going to happen randomly on a Wednesday night in London.... It just happen to be a wedding show the following Wednesday at Rosewood Hotel right down the road from my work. There are a ton of people getting married at my work, so I went along with another girl, Marg. We had a ball.. they had the bubbly flowing, appetizers passed around, and a classic fashion show with an amazing runway......
After the wedding show, I got my butt in proper wedding mode and into all the planning! Details to come!!!
Later on we discovered a hidden gem at one our hangouts... Steak and Lobster for 13 pounds!!! What a steal! We have had it twice now and it blows our minds every time. We recently learned that if you book online, you get a free 10 pound chip to play with too! While we have seen success at the casino the past few times we have been... I am nervous this could turn sour any minute... so we have limited the steak and lobster to 2 nights so far. But I am sure we will partake in it soon again. The last time we went it was Chinese New Year... and it turns out that 2014 is the year of the horse!
