London

Yesterday we had to go to London to get a bunch of stuff done at the Embassy. Namely; Siena American Birth Ceritifcate, Siena Social Security Number and Card, Siena American Passport, Renew Kaylee's American Passport and Renew my American Passport. While we were there we decided to take some time at some of the touristy sites. I loved playing tourist. As weird as it sounds I enjoy being at the embassy surrounded by all those other Americans and I love playing tourist where people treat me like Im not just a common person living in the UK but someone visiting from the states. And that is exactly how I get treated in London because no one has any idea that we have lived here so long.

Anyway we had a lovely time. I know there are a lot of pictures here but I thought you all would enjoy these ones. Next time We go to London we are going to go to Buckingham Palace we just didnt have time yesterday.
