John and I were so lucky to visit Europe the week of Thanksgiving! Celia stayed back in the states with grandparents and I know she had a blast getting spoiled everyday. John and I flew into London, took the train to Amsterdam, another train to Paris and flew home in 7 days. It was a packed trip, but we hit all the highlights and it was so wonderful.
Arriving in London.
Our first beer at the pub:
Buckingham Palace:
At Harrod's
Big Ben!

Another beer, another pub in Leicester Square

We stayed on a houseboat - it was so much fun!
