*Fact of the day: Tower Bridge is NOT London Bridge. London Bridge is a puny, little nothing bridge downstream a bit. Honest.
Here's a better view of the Tower of London from the bridge. The funny-looking torpedo building is the 'water company' - that according to my hubby. So funny to see an ancient castlerubbing elbows with modern, glass-and-metal buildings!
Here's a shot of one half of the Tower Bridge. Mason is dying to walk across the walkways overhead! Yikes. It was already closed the evening we were there. Darn.
And our Keely turned 17 this week! Made funny-tasting chocolate chip cupcakes (actually cake, just cut into pieces!). Her first choice, Angel Food Cake, is nowhere to be found here. She's modeling the hat she recieved and has now worn 24-7. Her friends at school surprised her with a cake and gifts, took her to a show and dinner - people she has only known 3 weeks! She was overwhelmed, to say the least. She also loved hearing from her family and pals back home thru the mail, facebook, phone calls and email. (And this to her friend who mistakenly called at 3 a.m. -you know who you are -> THERE'S A SIX HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Learn it!
*ahhh* I'm feeling better now.
;)
Awwwww, ain't she cute?
Off to Bath and Stonehenge this weekend!
TTFN!

Keely,
Your Godfather/uncle really owes you one!!!!!! He is trying to sell the idea that a 2 day belated birthday wish is customary when your god daughter is over the pond. I told him blah, blah, blah for you. I did remind him on Sunday but unfortunately did not get anything to you myself. We are the worst kind of bums.
It looks like you are all having a blast!! Wish we were there..do they have good wine in England?
Trying to get uncle Larry over there for a visit in the new year!! Keep up the blogging.
Love the
Skokie Patt's
You are not bums!
And yes, the wine is good and flows freely...UNlike the margaritas, I'm sad to say;)
HAPPY CAKE DAY, COUSIN KEELY!
(that's what Norah says to people on their birthdays...or whenever they serve her cake. She's always willing to show love to anyone giving her cake.)
This is my favorite pic so far...
C is for
