5) Westminster Abbey
7) The Tower Bridge
8) The Globe Theatre (one of my favorites)
9) Harrods
10) The Tower of London

12) The very first Hard Rock ( we had to eat there!)
13)Some statue in front of Buckingham Palace (thought it was pretty!)
14) St. Paul's Cathedral

Spring Break

Katie and Jay took us to Brugge, Belgium for a night. We hopped on to the ferry and from Dover England to Calais France and drove from France into Belgium. Brugge was absolutely beautiful neither Katie nor Jay had been there so it was something new for all of us!
This is the clock tower in the city center of Brugge...and yes we all climbed it! I'm not sure how high it was...but it was quite a climb!
Here is the view of Brugge from the top of the bell tower! It was amazing!
Just another picture of the city!

Spring Break

Andrew and I decided to visit one of my best friends, Katie, over spring break! She lives in the town Bury St. Edmund's which is in Suffolk England!

This is Andrew, me, Katie, and Jay (her boyfriend) our last night in England. We went to eat at this pub called the Eagle. Andrew couldn't leave England without having some fish and chips! This pub used to be a royal air force hangout and, for all you science lovers, is the pub where Watson and Crick announced their discovery of DNA!
These are the Abby gardens right in the center of the town! They were absolutely gorgeous!
Here is the smallest pub in Britain, The Nutshell! We stopped in for a drink...though I had to pass:(

We're Expecting

It's been awhile since we last posted and Andrew and I have some big news...We're expecting a baby! I'm due in October (10/20)...which happens to be quite a busy month with family birthdays and anniversaries! We're excited to add another to the bunch in october! We've had two appointments so far... we were given our first picture of the baby (though it doesn't look like much) and heard the heart beat!

For those of you who are curious about whether it will be a boy or a girl...you will be able to find out after May 30th. We've set up our 20 week sonogram for that date. We can't wait to find out!
