Our big 2 week trip to London and Paris!!!

 At DIA getting ready to board our Icelandair flight to Reykjavik and then onto London! Couldn't get any good pictures, but on the flight to Iceland we were actually blessed with a Northern Lights show out the plane windows!!









On the train into London from Gatwick airport!











 Didn't realize until we returned to our apartment after eating that a terrible terrorist attack occurred just blocks away on Westminster Bridge. We could see the helicopters circling and heard sirens for hours. Very scary to be so close.

 Time to sleep off jet lag!!


London Day 1





 Our first full day in London! Did a lot of walking! Started near our AirBnB next to Trafalgar Square...




 ...past the London Eye...

 ...took the Tube to the Tower of London!



 The old and the new...




 Tower Bridge!







 Heard awesome tales of beheadings and executions from a Beefeater



 The Crown Jewels!




















 The infamous Tower of London Ravens. Legend says if they ever leave then London will fall...










 Crossed the Tower Bridge and got some ice cream



 Vigil for those killed in the terrorist attack on Westminster Bridge yesterday. Very sad and scary.


 Ended the day with THE LION KING! Amazing production!
