England Trip!

This past Monday evening, Ian and I flew off to the UK. We arrived in London, England Tuesday late morning after a sleepless flight (there were several young families with cranky kids on the flight). Ishbel, Ian's sister, had a list of things for us to see while we were there waiting for her to get out of teaching in the afternoon. We ended up seeing the Buckingham Palace and then waiting around for her..
