Still loving life in London!

It has been a while since I have done a London themed post... so here are some of the good times in between our travel adventures! These span the past few months...
             
Jeff always a good job at taking pictures at his work events.. so I tried to pick up the good habit and took some at my last event. My team went bowling and then did Karaoke afterwards! For many it was the first time going American style bowling.... the place had like 8 lanes, so it wasn't huge but it was still good fun! 
Jeff's work had their summer ball. Everyone dresses up in formal wear and celebrates! As I am sure you can tell from the pic, everyone has a good time
In September there is the annual iTunes Festival in London with loads of free concerts... flip side is they are really hard to get tickets to. Jeff was lucky to get tickets to 3 concerts but we were only able to make it to see Robert Plant. We found out we won the tickets at 5 and the concert started at 7... and it was a Tuesday! Nothing like living in the moment!
And football season is upon us! This year there are 3 games coming to London. The first game was between the Raiders and the Dolphins. While we don't pull for either team it was still fun to go and watch.  The game experience is much different as anybody who loves the NFL will come and wear the jersey of the team they support.. not just the teams playing. I counted a total of 14 Carolina Panthers fans!
A little pre-tailgating before hand!
They sang both the US and UK National anthem 
and had both flags displayed on the field. 
The Deaf Leopard was the opening act...... 
and of course they had a grand opening with fireworks and such. 
Estabian and Naz joined us to watch the game. 
We have tickets to the other games 
and are really looking forward to all of them!
As you can see I have been trying to take picture more of the everyday moments...
here is a picture at the beginning of one great evening with our friends Laura and Will. 
We ended up having staying up late and playing cards into the wee hours of the night this evening. Good times and great memories!
SO excited that these 2 came to London and we got to hang out with them. 
We met up during week for some awesome pizza at Homeslice!
Later that week on Friday, we were able to meet up again. 
We went to a neighborhood pub for a few pints and then grabbed a kabob before topping off the night with a lovely cocktail. 

October snuck up on us some..... so we decided that we would just hang out in London town. We have been taking advantage of being at home and just enjoying being here. But we do have some fun and exciting trips coming up in November!
