Sooooo ... blessed and fortunate girls that we are -- we got to go on another trip to our favorite big European city! This time it was to accompany our good friends, Lisa and Isabella, to Isabella's audition for the West End play,
To Kill A Mockingbird. But, the audition got cancelled at the last minute, so we just got to have fun! We had room to spare on the flight, so we spread out and munched away.

| Lisa and I had gourmet snacks and, of course -- Prosecco! |
Going to London as often as we have, it's evolved into something else. It's no longer about touristy sights and photo ops at the famous spots -- now it's about enjoying the shows and the shopping and just enjoying being in the city.
 |
| We still had to take the obligatory red phone booth shot! |
 |
| Got to see Wicked for the second time -- still amazing! |
 |
| In our good seats at Wicked |
 |
| Portobello Road -- cute, colorful shopping street in the old Notting Hill neighborhood |
 |
| Lots of vintage clothing and antique shops |
 |
| The girls had a great time shopping! |
 |
| There are some LONG escalators to and from the "Tube" |
 |
| Sweet, friendly doorman at Hamley's Toy Store -- I want his job! |
 |
| TEDDY HEAVEN!!! |
 |
| Silly girls -- HUGE camel! |
 |
| Awesome Lego statues of the Royal Family |
 |
| Had to show Princess Kate's dress details |
 |
| Sara even bowed to the Queen! |
 |
| We love using London cabs, but we weren't lucky enough to catch this one! |
 |
| Tea time dahhhhlling -- at the Wolseley! Pinkies up! |
 |
| Me and my favorite girl! |
 |
| STOMP was a fun surprise! So GREAT and so FUNNY! |
We also went to see the musical
Shrek before it closes for good in London at the end of the month. I forgot to take the girls' picture in front of the theater, darn it! I wasn't excited about this one at first. I figured I would be disappointed, but it was also surprisingly good! The effects were so well done, it almost looked like the cartoon.
We had such a wonderful trip with our girlfriends -- one we will never forget!
P.S. for those who are wondering how the boys fared -- they watched guy movies like
The Stooges and
Ironman all weekend. They also ate all the junkfood they could get their hands on! Life was good for them too! When we got back, Andrew asked when we were leaving again! Jeesh!
