London

Before the end of summer and beginning of school, Alex and I left the kids with the grandparents and took a train to London for a 4-day getaway. It was a great trip! It was nice to rediscover the freedom of being without kids: sleeping in late, leisurely breakfast (with the paper!), going to the movies and theater, eating wherever and whenever, and just generally "faffing" about (british slang for hanging out, not really doing anything). Nonetheless, we were eager to get back home to the kids. We did miss them a lot!
