Royal Wedding Weekend in London

Lucy and I flew to London for a long weekend at the end of April, and we had so much fun! Lucy was actually born in London, so she showed me where she used to live, right by Tower Bridge. Speaking of bridges, did you know that London Bridge is just a traffic bridge that's not super cool at all? Everything else in the city is, however. Especially on a weekend when half the world's population is tuning into the activities there. Oh, and get this. Upon arriving at the airport, I went up to a security guy to ask him where the help desk was. When I approached him, he said to me, jolly as could be: "'Allo, mate! What seems to be the problem?" What a thing to say!

Cadbury Creme Eggs are from England! AND MCDONALDS MAKES CADBURY CREME EGG MCFLURRIES (I read this but did not have one myself)
