After an enjoyable and memorable family vacation in London, a hectic new year weekend, and getting Melissa back to Duke, I am gradually settling back to normal. Wanted to share this family picture from London. We are standing on a bridge in a garden near Buckingham Palace along the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walkway. Although it looks relatively calm and there is not a bird in the picture, there were a ton of pigeons, ducks, and other birds flying all around as people were feeding them and the girls were absolutely freaking out. You can see that Em is seeking protection from Melissa. Note the London Eye in the backround. That is a 443 foot high enclosed ferris wheel, the world's tallest observation wheel giving stunning 360 degree panaromic views of London of up to 25 miles. We rode it at night (a champagne flight) so although we didn't see quite 25 miles, it was a very clear night and we enjoyed the lights of London with a glass of champagne. I thought I might not be comfortable with the height, but it wasn't scary at all.
