Kate and Donna come to London

I was honored to have my friends Donna and Kate come all the way form Seattle for a long weekend in London during the hectic holiday season. We managed to talk nearly non-stop for something like 72 solid waking hours (I know this doesn’t come as much of a surprise to those of you who know us) and I think we could have managed another 72 hours had we had the chance! It was a really fun weekend full of memories that I will always treasure.

The girls arrived mid afternoon and after a Starbucks snack from downstairs (and the kick off of the chatting) we headed to Grosvenor Square for a quick Morgan walk followed by more great conversation over wine and cheese at La Fromagerie. The girls were understandably pretty tired so we called it an early night.


















The next day we head out to lunch and then to Hyde Park by way of Green Park and Buckingham Palace to the German Christmas Fair. Despite the pouring rain we had gluvine to keep us warm as we pursed the stalls full of handicrafts. We checked out the Duke of Wellington for dinner so the girls could enjoy a proper gastropub meal, which was delicious. We worked off our dinner with a fun bit of ice skating at Somerset House which couldn’t have been more picturesque.

On Sunday we checked out the London Eye and followed that with English tea at The Woolseley. Which was fun followed by sushi and a late night out in Soho. We all suffered a bit the next day, but it was well worth it.



I feel so lucky to have friends where I can pick up where we left off six months ago like we’ve never been apart.
