We were lucky enough to stay with our friends Jason and Stacey Wells. They are friends from the good old days at Wharton. Jason has been working in London for the past year and a half, but they are moving back to the states. Their house is just outside the city and it was a wonderful respite for all of us. When we first walked into their home the kids all said, "this is just like being in a house in America!" The added bonus was the indoor pool. On New Years Eve Ericka & Miranda were nice enough to take a swim with our kids. What a treat.
The water was a bit cold. No worries they had a wet suit to fit every body.
All fireworks are legal AND available in London. Kind of funny because you cannot have an electrical outlet in the bathroom, but you can let off fireworks from your apartment in the middle of the city! Jason was nice enough to put on a fireworks display. He & Taylor didn't read the directions fully and let off a firework that was supposed to be grounded. It flew into the air and created quite a show. Lucky for us it didn't land on their beautiful house. We were exhausted from all of our sight-seeing that day so we rang the New Year in early and had the kids in bed by 10:30pm. Thanks Jason & Stacey for your friendship & great hospitality!
