London, May 21, 2009

Jamie arrived early this morning while we were having breakfast, it was so good to see him! After letting him rest,shower, etc we set off on a family adventure. Taking advantage of buses, trains & the underground, we made our way to Picadilly Circus to conquer London Town. Staying in our wonderful top deck seats all the way, we did the city circut on the Original Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. It was great! After disembarking we shopped for a bit, and then met Kavey for a wonderful supper at Gerard's Corner - absolutely the best Chinese Food I have ever had!
