Baby Lily! Rufus returns to the UK for one day 6-22-11

After our flight from DC to London we paused for a day to adventure in London. Rufus was happy to show Nolan the ropes as it was his first visit. Highlights included Big Ben, the Globe, the Thames and her many bridges (Millenium, London, Tower), St. Paul's Cathedral in which the queen herself was paying respect on the building's 300th anniversary of being open to the public and the enormous and confusing Victoria Station. As for favorite moments, everyone's had to be seeing beautiful, charming, windy baby Lily and her wonderful Mommy Stephanie. Together we all enjoyed a pub lunch and sunshine on one of London's nicer June days. Maxime, Lily's proud Pop was sorely missed due to work commitments but we felt him there in spirit, especially as we were in iphone contact a few times!

Mom's favorite hot spot was surely the Tate Modern where she held concert with her beloved Stills, Twombly, Newman, Matisse and Rothko's. That woman (me) sure has a thing for color. Rufus probably best enjoyed simply riding the public transport and Nolan was pretty jazzed about, what else, the "Full English Breakfast" he ordered for lunch.

Pictures coming soon!
