POTD | Woo! Back from London
Wow, I need some time not zooming across the ocean. As exciting as it sounds to be in Europe three times within 8 weeks, the reality is that I am tired and longing for more Tex-Mex and Margs and friend time.
Not that the trips were not fun and fantastic, because they were all amazing (especially seeing family and a delightful English wedding this past weekend), but the travel part is a cruel mistress. Everything suffers - work, the house, etc.
Savannah takes it all in stride though. Here she is outside our latest hotel. Travel = not a problem for Little S.
I was telling her that I was looking forward to some time at home today and she said that she wished we could travel all the time. I am happy about that attitude because it will surely serve her well in the years to come. A five year old with an impressive set of stamps in her passport is never a bad thing and we are so grateful we've been able to supply those experiences for her.

London | 48 Hours style
I think 10 years of marriage deserves a weekend trip to London, no? We had a lovely weekend though - saw some relatives, ate some great food, saw some cool stuff. Can't ask for more than that! PLUS, we get to go back in June as a family for a wedding! Yea!
We bought Savannah a Paddington Bear (at Harrod's no less - Ooh lala) and took him to Paddington station. A smartly dressed British man saw us and said (to whomever he was speaking with on the phone) "Only Americans would be taking a photo of Paddington with a Paddington" in a really snotty tone. I basically told him to suck it, because I was doing this for my five year old.
If you happen to be in SoHo, this restaurant is fantastic! Only downside, they hung my coat by the kitchen and it smelled (heavenly) of lamb the next day.
Then I got to come home to this face - it really hit me when I drove off to the airport that we would both be so far away from her. That was very hard. I was so happy to see her.
