While Craig went on his little run (ha!) I reorganized my suitcase and went shopping at the shopping center next to the hotel. I forgot to rotate the above picture. I was going to buy these jammies for the boys but didn't think they would appreciate them. :)
I got to walk around the stadium and sit on the bottom row to wait for Craig to come running in at the finish. He said it was a hot race and he just took his time and enjoyed it. From the look on his face, he did! It's a good thing he said that or I would give him a hard time about the guy dressed like Tarzan and the guy dressed like a Viking coming in before he did. :)
Sweet, sweaty man. Everyone around us said, "Awwwww! and Craig said a guy at the corner said, "Well done, cap, you finished the marathon AND got the lovely lady kisses!"
To London and a walk over to Harrods. It's a very fussy department store but fun to look at. They do have a very cool food hall. Craig got a slice of Beef Wellington, a serving of Duck with Bubbles and Squeak on top (squishy pea stuff) and port cherry pie. He liked it. I had a yummy chicken kabob.
After we ate we took the tube (minding the gap) over to Bond Street and came up right under Big Ben. It was so nice to see him again. He's my favorite in London. These are the Houses of Parliament.
Big Ben! Love that the double decker is in the picture.
The front door of the London Supreme Court.
St. James Park in front of Buckingham Palace. While we were walking here we saw a HUGE fox skulking around in the flowers.
One more of the Big Guy. The clock had just chimed 9:00. Beautiful music!
We stayed at my favorite little hotel, The Leonard. This 1806 sampler hangs on the dining room wall.
What a fun, cozy, adventurous, hilarious, relaxing trip I've had with my man! Happy Birthday to me! :)
