After a lovely send off from our dear friend Janet we hopped the bus to DIA and boarded our flight to London. British Airways is a lovely airline with fun treats for the kids in the form of a goodie bag with cards, games, colors. We all got miniature toothbrushes and itty bitty toothpastes, which the kids adore. The eye mask was very handy for sleeping and will be handy on the trip as well, perhaps.
Well we made our flight to London and arrived yesterday at 9am (2am Colorado). We managed to stay awake and drop our backpacks at hotel. We enjoyed a traditional English breakfast (Rusty's favorite thing here: scrambled eggs on toast with tomato and mushrooms an a a big slice of bacon). We toured the city, visiting Buckinham Palace with the guards that look like wind up toys (says Jeremy). Other highlights: Big Ben and the parliament bldg, Westminster Abbey (where we lit a candle and said a pr
ayer of healing and strenght for Rusty's Uncle Mike), and the London Eye (like an oversized ferris wheel with views of the city (see Big Ben behind the kids in the photo?). Note, Courtney's new London scarf...her big purchase :).

It's fun that way.
Jeremy is the only one feeling a bit ill with a cold...hopefully this next flight won't be too difficult for him.
Dhaka is next, we're at the airport and currently our flight is delayed 35 minutes (okay Zach!) We loved London and were here too short!
