London UK

We just got back from a fabulous trip to London! Oliver enjoyed himself so much! From the moment we got to the airport in Vancouver, he seemed to thrive on the momentum and energy of travel. The flight over was fantastic - Oliver swanned up and down the aisle, smiling at everyone and enjoying their friendly attention. He slept for the better part of the journey, and awoke to meet Grandma Jude at Heathrow!

Christina, Jude and Oliver discovered the playground at Hyde Park, and spent a lot of happy times there. It was fun to see the little British kids, with their scarves, smart clothes and cute accents! On Friday, Tom joined us and we found the Princess Diana Memorial Playground - a treasure! The women couldn't decide if it was Tom, or Oliver, that had more fun!

Other highlights of the trip included hanging out at our lovely flat - Oliver played for hours in the gauzy curtains and with the phone. Also, there was a wonderful trip to"Hamley's" toy store where he picked out a few souvenirs for himself.

Of course, London is a very fashionable place. You don't want to go out without the right accessories...

We are exhausted from the flight home (not quite as straightforward as the flight there!), and jet-lagged, but still glowing from the amazing holiday in one of the world's most exciting cities...
