Billy's Visit

We had our first visitor recently - Cousin Billy!  Molly and Bill spent Friday doing a pub crawl while Matt worked but the three of us got to have some fun on Saturday at the Aston Villa vs. Chelsea match.  Bill's boss owns Aston Villa so instead of supporting our "local" team, we decided to cheer on Villa.  The game was so much fun that it made both of us football fans (not just American football!).  We loved the little differences - the away team fans have their own entrance, there's no drinking in your seats but you can run and down 4 beers at once at half time (actual signs that say you can only order 4 beers at one time), the fans sing the entire game...basically just making fun of the other team.  Thanks to Bill's boss, we were able to get into the clubhouse afterwards and have a few pints with the COO of the team (who we should mention, is only 34). He was really sweet and even let Molly talk about the WNBA while the boys just rolled their eyes.  Sunday we explored the city with Bill....got some really good shots of London.  Along the way, we stopped into almost every pub between the flat and Westminster Abbey...and then back again.  We were sad to see Bill go but both of our livers did thank us!
