LONDON DAY 1

WE MADE IT TO LONDON FOR THE ROYAL WEDDING!! We arrived this morning at 7am London time which is 1am at home in Alabama. Despite the chatty British kids on the plane (I am obsessed with their little accents so I couldn't help but to eavesdrop) we were both able to get a few little naps in on the flight. When we got to our hotel around 9:30, we checked into our room, showered and got out to go get some breakfast. After we ate we walked around for a little bit until we went back to the hotel at 12 to take a nap for a couple of hours so we would be rested up for our big afternoon/night!

At 4pm we attended a Sapphire Tea, in honor of the Royal Wedding, at the Podium Restaurant inside Hilton on Park Lane.

 Leaving our hotel, Charring Cross, on our way

to Tea.

The stairway in the lobby.

 Cocktail we received when we got to Tea.

 Eating our sandwiches :)

 The important stuff. 3 layers of nothing but sweets!

 Heaven!

 Bottom Layer: Chocolate Chip Scones

 Middle Layer: Cupcakes

 Top Layer: Lots of little goodies. The white tray, is white chocolate!

 Super sweet Brazilian lady next to us was there by herself so we

ended up making a friend and taking turns documenting the experience.

 In the lobby at The Hilton on Park Lane

Tonight we went to see "All's Well That Ends Well" at Shakespeare's Globe Theater.

 Our view... front row balcony. Perfect!

 Getting ready for the play to start.

London getting ready for the wedding!!

 That green building, isn't really a building. It's scaffolding with a 

"building" built around it for the media, across the street from Buckingham Palace.

People already claiming their spots!

In front of that statue, behind that white wall, is stairs... already packed.

London is EXTREMELY flat so steps are your only chance of being elevated

enough to see over people.

We are loving being here already! It's not crazy right now but by tomorrow afternoon it should be intense! Check back tomorrow night to find out!

I would also like to ask for your thoughts and prayers for our family and friends at home in Alabama. They are in the middle of a crazy storm right now that has produced multiple tornadoes, some as big as a mile wide at the base. Parts of Alabama are flattened and the death toll is rising. Please take a moment to pray for the safety of those in danger. Missing them lots and hate that we are so far away with so much going on.
