In August, Julia and Brod came over for a week. Jules came on a Saturday and Brod joined us that Tuesday. We had such a great time! We visited the Notting Hill Carnival, had lunch at Harrods, went to the National Gallery, had some wine at Gordon's Wine Bar, did a wine tasting, ate yummy food at Borough Market, went to tea, rode the London Eye, went to Greenwich, Abbey Road, Portobello Market and went on a Thames River sunset cruise complete with champagne! It was a wonderful week! Here are a few picture highlights:
