London

We've made it safely and I have to say the kids did magnificent on the plane ride over here.  They actually slept a little and enjoyed the limitless in-flight entertainment that was available to them.  Such a sense of relief to be on the ground, though.
I think one of the best ways to remember our trip is to share our high-low as often as possible.  High-low is something we do around the dinner table to check-in with each family member to see what was the best part of their day and what was the worst.  Our high-lows for our first day in this journey would be:
Highs
1.  Arriving safely
2.  Getting to see Big Ben
3.  Riding the London Eye
4.  First experience with "chips"
5.  Taking a nap in the hotel
6.  Listening to Maddie sing "Go Tell It On the Mountain" while walking through the streets of downtown London
7.  The old gentleman in the Lord Nelson pub who was kind enough to give us his table and then kept shaking our hands and hugging us throughout the rest of the meal

Lows
1.  Having to wait a few hours for our hotel room to be ready while literally falling asleep in a booth in the hotel's restaurant
2.  Walking to dinner in the wind and rain (we'll just have to get used to this)
3.  Sitting down to dinner only to realize the English Pub we have chosen does not serve fish-n-chips and the only buns they have for burgers are made with cornflour

All in all, I say a very good day, especially since it is almost 9pm and the kids are still laughing!
