A & A came to visit!!! And it was everything I thought it would be, plus more!
Obligatory first picture on the tube...after a long flight.
After they got cleaned up, we went to Central London for an orientation walk around. This included the must do London Eye, which I think has the best views in the city. We went right at dusk, so we got both the lit up version and some day time shots.
Me and my favourite sister :)
Me and my favourite brother :)
The happy couple in London
All three of us
Post card photo from the bottom of the eye...with the classic red bus in front.
Adam was my hero...made amazing breakfast tacos from the tortillas they brought from the airport. Best Saturday morning breakfast ever.
It was Aly's birthday on Saturday! But we sort of technically celebrated Adam's which is 4 days later because...
A friend of mine helped me buy tickets for Crystal Palace vs. West Brom in the Palace. We got up early, had those amazing tacos and then headed to Victoria to grab a train to the station. We got out at Norwood Junction and went to a very traditional fish and chips shop, followed by a walk to Selhurst Park for a bar pre-gamer, which was in the stadium. So thankful for the hints my friend gave...it certainly made me look smart because we felt like VIPs. After a few drinks, we headed to the seats, which were excellent.
We got the first day of sun of the year with great weather. The seats were close enough to the crazy CP fans but not amoungst them, which made for an excellent atmosphere.
We can see the CP players! Go Eagles!
The crazies just next to us. After that, we got Adam a jersey and required scarf. It was then off for some Indian food in Tooting Bec (thanks A). Food was excellent and cheap. Sounds like a perfect birthday for Adam! Adam had to take care of Aly's during the week...
On Sunday it was off to the Crabtree for Roast, which was great. Pictured with their post Roast puddings.
Then we went to the V&A museum, which I hadn't done. We wandered through, looking at all the incredible design elements housed in the museum.
Massive art in the entrance hall
Massive art from the Greeks, Romans, etc...
After the V&A, we wandered around central London some more. I gave them an orientation from Leicester Square all the way to Westminster, showing all the major sites they should see while I was in the Hague for the week. I got back early on Friday, seeing them in the evening for the last night before they flew out on Sunday :(
I can't wait to see them again!!!
