More Autumn fun in London!

A few more updates from our fun in London over the past month or so!
  
We went to the dog tracks in Wimbledon! 
Those pups run so fast we had a really hard time actually getting them in the picture
Jeff was good at betting on the ponies at Ascot but I was way better at betting on the pups!
At 2 pounds a bet it is hard to go wrong though haha
So glad we got to hang out with Franzy and Persia too!
The latest art exhibit in Covent Garden... a floating house! 

We met up with Denise, Tyler, Will and Peter and enjoyed some classic NFL football at the Hippodrome!
                Fun times in Chiswick!
 
Jeffrey planned a fantastic theatre date night, we saw 
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime....
I would HIGHLY recommend it. Very creative and a good story
 Trying a very English experience... a 'football' stadium tour at Chelsea! 
 The stadium seats 42K and there are 30K season ticket holders and 
100K club members.... not looking good for us to get to see a live game! 
 We were a little under impressed with the locker rooms when compared to the pro stadiums in America... but it was still pretty neat to go inside! 
It was still pretty cool to do the same walk as the Chelsea team before a game :) 
 We ventured over to Harrods after the tour for a wonder. 
 Saw the memorial for Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. Dodi's father owns Harrods and put up this memorial. 




The Christmas decor was up in Harrods. 
Very excited for Phyllis and David to be joining us this year in London!
Sunday Roast time! 
I couldn't resist the beautiful red ivy on this building... 
it was all blue sky so we were soaking up as much as possible!


We booked tickets to a Medival Banquet.... and it was quite entertaining :)  
There was singing, dancing, and upside down juggling (which I thought was the most impressive!)
 

We turned into fans of another NFL team for the weekend
Got to see the Altanta Falcons team come in... We thought it was quite funny how they were taking photos of us as we were taking photos of them!

We did the promotional digital postcard to Discover the USA!!!!

We took a detour after the fan rally to the National Portrait Museum and saw Kate's Portrait.... we we realized why all the drama was created! It was not the most flattering of them all.. 

Then it was on the game on Sunday
Marg and Christian were able to join us at the game too.
This was hands down the best game that we went too!!!
Let the good times roll!!!
