(The Pearly Queen and King. They are often fixtures in Covent Garden in London, though frankly, I have no idea why.)

I'm back from my three-day trip to London, and I'm jetlagged beyond rational thought. Despite the crazy schedule, I had a great trip: I did a bit of sightseeing with my coworker Marianne, I had dinner with my friend Rachel, and I met my sweet friend Mark at about 10 pm last night, and we sat in my hotel bar catching up until about 2 a.m. this morning.

My alarm to get ready to go to the airport went off at 5 a.m. Did I mention I was exhausted?

A few of my favourite photos from the trip can be found here. For now, I'm off to give my little one a bath. It feels like it's been ages since I've done that.

P.S. Thanks so much for all of your answers to my question in your previous post. It's been a long time since our little family has had a proper vacation, and your answers reminded me of all the reasons why we need to plan one, and soon. Stay tuned!
