London! (days one and two.)

Well hello! I know it's been forever since I've posted anything, but I figured now is a good time to start since we'll be in Europe the next two weeks!!

We left Sunday morning (4 a.m., ouch.) out of LAX, and we saw Justin Bieber in the line for security!! Good thing Callie has seen the JBiebz movie enough times to recognize his body guard. That's how she knew it was him. Then some 20 year old guy behind us in line who was clearly just as excited verified it for us before JB took off his hat and glasses. He has bad hat hair, by the way. The first flight was great.. but once we landed in Toronto and had to get on an eight hour flight to London.. NOT good! It was a red eye, and something about being in a little tiny square of space isn't really that conducive to good sleep.

We got to our hotel at 8am, and by some small miracle they had our room ready! We got to crash and sleep for a few hours before we headed out to explore, which was quite a relief. We spent the rest of the day riding on a double decker bus getting an overview of the city.. and I am SO excited to get to see the rest of it!! There were adorable little kids dressed in blue school uniforms (they looked JUST like the kids in the Madeline books if you remember those!), and tons of gorgeous buildings. At about 4 in the afternoon it started to poor (hurray for the weather here!), so the city got pretty jammed up which made the rest of the tour not quite as pleasant. I'm not entirely sure what the plans are for the next few days, but I'll keep posting on here!!
