Covent Gardens and more...

We headed out in search of Covent  because we'd heard Santa's reindeer would be there for petting and feeding.  It was an absolute madhouse - packed with people!

I'd read about this globe - the display inside is made entirely of Legos.

It may have been packed (and rainy) but was decorated beautifully.


After a quick lunch, we found the reindeer at last!


After the reindeer we wandered Covent Gardens and Jubilee Market.  Then onward to find new adventures.  St. Martin in the Fields Church


A Hemingway tribute....

Back to Trafalgar Square....


From there we decided to explore the National Gallery (I was scolded for taking the following picture - so it's the only one)


Then back to Hamleys for a few minutes (it was so crowded I became clostrophobic quickly)


As we wandered around looking for dinner, we came upon the most incredible chocolate shop....



Finally, a nice dinner out with great company!


A fantastic day!

And We're Off!

And just like that, all the goodbyes were over.

The dogs were loaded into the car.
As was Katy.
And I was loaded onto an airplane.  (Ryan, Katy and the dogs went to Dallas for a week to visit family before the trip over)

Welcome to your new home!
