~Yay!!


Well, I've made it!  WE arrived yesterday morning and guess what?  I missed my flight to London, they bumbed us to another flight to Gatwick, and my bags were delayed for 36 hours!  YIpee! 

Fortunately, Molly's bag made it, so I had a little dress to wear, and we went OUT!

It was the 20th anniversay of Michael's company, so we started out with a celebration at the Shoreditch House!!

The weather has been fantastic and sunny, so the rooftop pool lounge was the perfect place for some gorgeous cocktails!

After Shoreditch House, we came back to the apartment and had a little party!!!
Then.... we all slept.  It's so much fun- Jonathan is here, too, so it's like a big old slumber party!  Plus, Trent and Michael have to biggest, coolest loft so there's plenty of room for everyone

Today we spent the afternoon in beautiful Hampstead Heath, and went for a long walk by the public ponds- they have an all-male, all-women, and mixed pond where you can swim and frolic!

It was an absolutely gorgeous sunny day today!  Oh, and i've been taking lots of pics, but am having a little internet issue... so.... will upload in a bit!  Meanwhile, from Wikipedia, a nice pic of Hampstead...


From Wikipedia

Hampstead Heath (locally known as "the Heath") is London's largest ancient parkland, covering 3.2 km² (320 ha; 791 acres). This grassy public space sits astride a sandy ridge, running from Hampstead to Highgate, which rests on a band of London clay.^[1] The Heath is rambling and hilly, embracing ponds, ancient woodland, a lido, playgrounds, training track and in addition it adjoins stately home and grounds of Kenwood House. In the south of Hampstead Heath lies Parliament Hill, the park's focal point and one of the highest points in London: the commanding view from its summit is protected by law.

The Heath has long been a popular place for Londoners to walk and take the air. Running along its eastern perimeter lies a chain of ponds - including three open-air public swimming pools - which were originally reservoirs for drinking water formed from the River Fleet; and the northern Kenwood area is a location of a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the smallest such site in London. Until February 2007, Kenwood House in the north of the park held lakeside concerts. The Heath is managed by the City of London Corporation, and lies mostly in the London Borough of Camden, with a small area in the London Borough of Barnet.
