London with my Love

Sam and I had planned a weekend in Hawaii. We made all the arrangements and packed our bags. But because Sam and I fly on standby, our dreams of going to Hawaii was crushed when everyone else had to same idea as us. I got really bummed and Sam and I started heading home. This United Airline worker came up to us and said "why don't you go to Munich this weekend? Or Cancun?" And he was right, why did we have to go home and call it quits? We found an empty flight to London, switched our swimsuits for jackets and took the 8 hour flight to the UK. Sam had never been to London, and this being my third time I felt it was important for me to be his tour guide ;) We went and saw Buckingham Palace, (unfortunately a 5k race stopped the Changing of the Guards from happening) Big Ben, Westminster, rode a double decker bus over Tower Bridge and spotted St Paul's Cathederal and The Tower of London. Sam had injured his foot a few days before but he was a champ and limped all over this beautiful city. The best part of this trip was going home. We wanted to save money so we thought it was a good idea to stay at the airport instead of paying for a hotel. It was 9pm and we took the Underground all the way back out to the airport just to find out that the airport closes and we couldn't stay there. There was a small corner in the airport that didn't close, so we found a chair and got ready to wait there for 12 hours before our flight. Oh what we will do to save some money!!! Let's just say by the time we got home we had gone three days with maybe three hours of sleep. But it was worth it! London is still just as magical of a place and I loved seeing it with my baby love!
