London visit

I am waiving to the Queen and Connor is showing that his head is as big as the clock on Big Ben. (Insert Gretchen joke here).
We have had a great time so far. We went to Harrods and played with the massive kids toys on the top floor. We had an excuse for being there for a few hours. We were with our new friends from Australia who are working up here for a few months. They have a 9 month old so we had to test out the toys for him. We had a good night with a home cooked meal at their place. We didn't go to the Notting Hill Carnival, which is probably good since there were a few knife fights. London is known for stabbings, watch out! We are thinking of getting a place in Marylebone which is a really cool area just north of Oxford Circus (major shopping strip, worse than michigan ave). There are two large parks within walking distance and the area is filled with great little restaurants and wine and cheese shops! It is a really cute area, but our money will be stretched if we get a 2 bedroom. We'll see what we find.
