Mandi and I are off to London tonight! Going to the Olympics has always been a dream of mine, and London presented itself as the perfect opportunity to fulfill this. A trip to an amazing city, tons to see and do (and eat and drink), and some of the games thrown in! I love travelling with Mandi–she is the perfect travel partner–flexible and thoughtful, doesn’t mind engaging in the 4-step process it takes to wake me up in the morning, full of good ideas, and FUN. We have a blast travelling together and I am so excited about the trip!!

We decided to begin our trip a bit early, before the games start, hopefully to beat some of the crowds. We’ll get a week in before opening ceremonies, then we have reservations at a cool-looking pub to watch those, tickets to beach volleyball the next day, and then we head home. We have some things planned–a trip to the theater, afternoon tea–and others loosely planned so we can take each day as it comes. I am so excited–London’s calling!
