A two hour car trip and one very long plane ride later, and we are in London! We have been walking zombies all day, and I am about to turn in for bed, even though it's only midafternoon in Dallas, and my boyfriend will be at work for another couple hours. Hopefully this extended layover will help us fight the jet lag!
Our nine hour international flight was passed with a few TV shows, some moments of wonder (for Austin, who had never flown before), and innumerable creative sleeping positions. All in all, I'd say we probably got a full night's sleep...if you added up all of our hours together! ;)

When we got to Heathrow, we got through customs and checked into our hotel. We had fish and chips for lunch, and then took a double decker bus and the Tube to the Green Park and walked around. We walked past Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and took a boat down the Thames. We passed by Westminster Abby and saw the London Eye. Then we walked around the Tower of London. By that time, we were exhausted, so we took the Tube back to our rooms and crashed. Luckily, I got photos of almost everything. My photo count today: 222 (before deleting any).
Can't wait to share the rest! More adventures await us tomorrow in London....although we've no idea what they are. :)
