Lovely......Brilliant!

Starting our trip off right.  Panda Express at the airport!  To use a Tuckerism, "Yummers!"

OK.  Now hold on to your hats, 'cause do I have a story to tell!!  Our flight was very uneventful, comfortable seats, still didn't get much sleep, you know the drill.  BUT, have you ever been on a flight where a guy passes out and the attendant calls for a doctor?  Well, I never had, but now I have because that guy was MY HUSBAND!!!  Now, don't worry kiddos, everything is fine, but here is the story.  We were watching an on flight movie.  It's the new one called "The Impossible" about the family that was separated in the Tsunami in Thailand.  There was a really graphic scene in the hospital with some yucky injuries and some gross sound effects.  Craig said to me, "I don't feel so good."  He looked like he was going to toss his cookies so I told him to go to the bathroom.  He got up and went to the one about 3 seats behind us and about 30 seconds later I heard over the intercom, "If there is a doctor aboard will you please come to the middle of the plane."  I looked back and asked someone who could see where Craig was, "Did he pass out?!?"  The guy said, "I don't know, but he fell."  I was instantly clawing my way back to where he was and there was Craig, laying sideways on the floor looking as white as the freshly driven snow with a very confused look on his face.  There was not a Dr. on board but he started feeling better right away.  He was sweating like, well, like him when he dances, and his skin was cold.  We sat there on the floor for a few minutes and then went back to our seats.  He says he was just trying to  1. find a good place to lie down, 2. get bumped up to first class,  or 3. start his own reality TV show.  Very funny.  Scared me and the stewardess to death.  I'm POSITIVE it happened because of the movie.  He did the same thing once when we visited his grandfather at the hospital, although he didn't pass out that time.  The stewardess told him no more gory movies.  Well, I went to sleep a little while after that and when I woke up HE WAS WATCHING IT AGAIN!!!!  He said he skipped the gory part and wanted to see the end.  And you people think I'm stubborn!!!!

Anyway, we made it to London and got a cab to Windsor.  Our hotel is called the Harte and Garter and this is the view from our window!!!

 Our room is small and comfy,very old and very English with the electric kettle all ready to plug in just in case you need a cupa.  The first thing we did was head to the Crooked House for tea!  Ellie will be so happy. :)  This picture is NOT crooked, just the house.

 This is our "Earl of Windsor" tea.  The yellow stuff to the top-right of the grapes is clotted cream.  OOOO LA LA.

This is a GRAPE in my hand.  They were GI-NORMOUS!  My tea was Ruby Berry.  MMMMMM

 Hanging out at the castle.  The queen is in residence (you can't see it, but the state flag is flying.)  She said to tell you all, "Cheerio!"

 

A royal ice cream truck!

 This guard looke about 17 years old.  His eyes were moving the whole time, keeping us safe.  The weapon he holds is ready to be used at any time.

 Cool door in the castle.

 Saw this mirror in a shop.  It's surrounded with all kinds of costume jewelry. 

 This is my new hat!  Just kidding, I didn't buy it.  But it was so cute.  It's actually a headband.  If the queen invites me over for tea, I'll go buy it to wear.  :)

 Having a ball!  Miss y'all but glad to be here with my sweet husband.
Goodnight!
