Officially Ex-Pats

We spent our first weekend mostly exploring our neighborhood. First on the list was a fish & chips dinner. The kids, especially Huddy, are hooked. We've heard him tell Sienna several times: "Sis, in London, french fries are called chips." Our neighborhood is nice and we have all the essentials very close. A grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, playground, etc are all right around the corner. We even found a McDonald's and Chipotle close by. We were expecting the weather to be in the 50's, but boy were we in for a shock! It probably hasn't been this cold in London in years! Hats, gloves, and a winter coat were our first purchases. We also found time to hit a few of the museums, which are free here. The kids had a great time exploring the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.
First meal in London: fish & chips

First night in London, and first night in a big girl bed

Mmmm, Starbucks hot chocolate on a very chilly day

Hands on fun
