My kids are high school sophomores now (how did this happen??!!!) and before we know it, they will be away in college. I am still wrapping my head around that but in the meantime I am trying to fit in as much family togetherness as I possibly can.. And of course for us that means family travel!

This November break Victor could not get away (his work schedule is not nearly as flexible as mine!) so I figured this would be a great opportunity for a mommy/daughters trip! I wanted a destination that would be easy to do in four days and we chose London because my kids have not been and it’s a great city! In 4.5 days we had there we did, ate and saw ‘all the things’!

We did touristy things such as a walking tour and seeing the sights

and not so touristy things such as vintage clothes shopping at Brick Lane:

We got some culture in at the British Museum and the National Gallery:

And had proper afternoon tea, pub food, indian food and all in between:

We saw shows (Cabaret is a MUST in my opinion and I am still singing songs from Les Miserable) and saw tons of beautiful Christmas decorations:

We saw colorful buildings of Notting Hill and red lanterns of China town:

It was a great trip and I feel so fortunate that I was able to do it with my kids!
