It's Good to be Dave

Dave and his new Ultra Classic Electra Glide

It was very sad to say Good-Bye to the Road King Classic with 60,000 glorious miles of memories....but now we're on to making new memories!

This was so much love....the whole room was filled with people who love Jessica, Wills, and their baby. There were so many lovely, creative, and amazing gifts. I didn't know they had all these things for babies! It makes you wonder how we ever raised babies before!

We're Home!

Great flight, even the food was better.....already planning for next year...possibly Morocco?

Day 14 - London, England

Final day....we fly out tomorrow. Good weather.

We took the tube and train to Windsor and found out more than we ever wanted to know about royalty and the palace. We had a personal guide, we're not too sure if it was a good value. Oh, but we also got to see the changing of the guard at the Windsor Palace!

We did the usual tea time and evening champagne.....dinner was a big disappointment.

Now we're ready to return to our homes, eat way less, do some exercise, and see the rest of you!

Day 13 - London, England

Started with sunshine but chilly weather...then things turned. Not the weather, but we got stood up for our tour! The major bummer is this is the only day we could have seen the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace (they only do this on even numbered days in September) and we missed that because we were going on the tour. So now what do we do? Shop!

We learned how to manage the Tube and buses....people are so helpful and pleasant here.

We did make it back to the hotel in time for tea, which is just so civilized, with our cottled cream, scones, and whiskey.

Got a great recommendation for dinner and had a fabulous meal. The entertainment was the two older Japanese gentlemen at the table next to us wearing wedding rings and dining with their two young "nieces".

Off to Windsor!

Day 12 - London, England

Okay, now you know how we hate to complain, but the weather took another turn to the cold side! One of the locals said "we have all four seasons in one day"! So out came the sweaters again and the socks. We did leave the umbrellas in our rooms, but it did sprinkle today.

We did the hop on/hop off bus tour through the city and saw all the big things.....Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Tower of London, Parliment, and a river cruise. Boy, are we tired.

We had tea with scones and cottled cream and whiskey again....took a nap/read again....and regrouped at 7 for champagne and little bites to eat....then off to dinner where we talked to a couple and may have a scenario for next year.

Tomorow we tackle the Tube!

Street vendor that Edie bought a stamp for crafting, the others were kind but were really not that interested in looking at every one of his many stamps, go figure. Odd thing, Sabrina has not purchased a thing....yet.

There is so much to do and so little time so we're using cabs sometimes. They are quite reasonable, very clean, and the drivers are so professional.
