In celebration of the Royal Wedding and all things British, I wanted to take a few moments to ohh & ahh over the brief stay Matt & I had in London the summer of 2008.......
I do have a minor fascination of all thing Royal, so we did a TON of "royal" sightseeing......
Recognize this stately Palace?
It is absolutely breathtaking in person....
We were only in London for 5 days but we came to see the changing of the guard 3 times.....
And to say hello to my favorite Queen....
Funny, the Royal family didn't come out and wave at me from their "little" porch like I expected them too....
But we did catch a glimpse of Prince Charles......
Nah, it wasn't him, but it sure looked like him!
We visited a few other Royal Palaces, like Hampton Court Palace, where King Henry VIII spent most of his time with all 6 wives....
And the Tower of London to see the Royal Jewels and where Anne Boylen spent too much time.....
We took a ride on the Eye and were overwhelmed with how breathtaking everything is. Everything has such an amazing amount of history over there - nothing compares to it here in the states.
Just look at how beautiful The Parliament & Big Ben are.....
St. James Cathedral - I stood on the exact spot where Princess Di & Prince Charles were married...
I couldn't get enough pics of this gorgeous clock tower.
And we got to observe a church service with a choir at Westminster Abbey.....
It was solumn and breathtaking at the same time.
And I can't possibly believe how amazing it is going to be on this Royal Wedding Day.
Which leads me to my dvr that has been up since 3 am taping all the festivities. I kinda changed my tune from yesterday and am anxious to go and see the Royal Wedding. I'm sure it's gonna be Fab!
