Anyone who has been reading regularly will recognize that we are happy to be in London. And the only thing better than exploring the city on our own is doing it with friends.
John, Jessie, and Rylee made the trek from Fort Collins, CO, USA, for a visit, and we managed to pack quite a bit into just a few days.
And a special thanks to Jess and John for sharing their photos and letting us use some for the blog.
