The beginning of April was the start of two months of visitors from the USA! It started off with Molly's two aunts visiting - Patty from NJ and Kate all the way from Los Angeles! They arrived on a Saturday and we met them for breakfast on the High Street then it was off and running for the hop-on/hop-off bus tour around London. We had dinner at Min Jiang which happens to be right in the Royal Garden Hotel (where they stayed) and has amazing views of Kensington Gardens and the Palace.
Sunday was Mother's Day so we celebrated Molly's interim moms for the day by taking them on our tour of London (Big Ben anyone?) and then to high tea at the Chesterfield Hotel. We then went to Babylon for dinner which is one of our favorite spots here. Tuesday night was dinner at Boca di Lupa then off to see The Children's Hour (with Keira Knightly and Elizabeth Moss) in the West End. It was a pretty heavy play and I have to give Matt a lot of credit for sitting through what most men probably would not. On Wednesday, Molly took the day off from work to head to Windsor Castle with them which was great. We got to see the royal apartments...but unfortuntately, the Queen was not in residence at the time.
The rest of the week they did Westminster Abbey, the Churchill War Rooms and we went up to Regent's Park together. The next night was dinner at another fan favorite, Strada which overlooks Tower Bridge. It is by far, our favorite view in London and we tried, somewhat unsuccessfully, to take a cute picture in the wind! It was an amazing visit and definitely a very special one for Molly which she will remember forever!!!
