My Sis!

Before I tell you all about our wonderful, two and a half week, family packed vacation, it's imperative that we first touch upon the awesomeness that was my sister and bro's trip to London.

Let me set the stage here ...

- My sister and bro coming to London

- 4 nights, 5 days to do all that they can do and soak up as much as possible

- Last vacation (alone) was over 6.5 years ago when pregnant with G

- Leaving 3 kids (6, 4, 1) at home with Mom-Mom & Pops 

It should go without saying that the anticipation was HIGH, right?!  But, we were prepared and ready to pull out all the stops and make this the best damn trip that they have EVER, EVER been on.  Well, really, we just wanted them to enjoy themselves and relax.
The best part is, it couldn't have gone better or been more fun.  We had the most amazing time together.   Naps were had, multiple latte's were bought, sights were seen, meals were eaten, wine was gulped, and memories were surely made.

Our days were jam packed...in a good way.  A typical day went something like this: casually woke up - went to breakfast - walked around - had lunch - saw some sights (including night time tour) - had a wine and cheese picnic in the garden - got ready - out to dinner!  The pictures should be able to tell a better story.

Besides all of the incredible fun we had, it was just so great to have my sister here.  We had full conversations without interruptions from her brood, we laid in bed and talked, got ready together every night, and spent each waking moment with one another .  I couldn't have been happier.  And the fun didn't stop there.  When their vacation was over, mine and D's was beginning.  We flew home together, which made the conclusion of their trip so much more bearable.

A special thanks to my Mom and Dad (and guest stars) for making this possible.  Our time spent together is truly something we will never forget : )

Bye London!!
