New Years in London!!!

Joe decided to plan a stop in London on our way back to Kuwait to celebrate New Years Eve and Day London style!  This was his Christmas present to Lindsay and he also told her that we would probably run in to Prince William and Kate Middleton while we were there.  Here are some pictures from our trip to London, now officially one of Lindsay's favorite places:

We were only in London for a couple of days, but thanks to some awesome tips from our good friend Tim we were able to see nearly all of the major attractions.  This was also due to the greatness of the London Underground system, which is truly a marvel.  The highlight of the trip (which was full of highlights) was the fact that we actually did see Prince William!  As we were walking on to the grounds of Kensington Palace, we were stopped at the driveway by a guard so two cars could pass.  The first was a beautiful Jaguar coupe and the second was a Range Rover with none other than Prince William himself.  We were able 10-15 feet from the car as it cruised by and he looked at us and the other couple that was standing next to us and waved.  Lindsay still can't believe it.  Joe wasn't that impressed, since he told Lindsay all along to expect a glimpse of a royal while we were in London.

We also saw platform 9 3/4, of Harry Potter fame, as well as the amazing New Year's Eve fireworks over the river.  We ate delicious fish and chips and enjoyed exploring the city.  Lindsay can't wait to go back to visit some friends that we have from Gaelic that are moving back to London this summer.  We will definitely be visiting them sometime down the road!
