Well today we were pretty tired from the Scotland trip and I let Kristen sleep in a bit. I am afraid that our frenetic pace over here has worn her out. But she says she is fine and is enjoying herself a ton. Today we went to the National Portrait gallery together and saw many priceless paintings of famous British people from Beatrix Potter to Queen Elizabeth herself. It was very awe inspiring. Then we went and toured the inside of Westminster Abbey. We saw Chaucer's tomb (the Canterbury Tales), the tomb of Mary Queen of Scots, Henry VII, Edward I, and of course my favorite Elizabeth I. She is buried right beside her sister Mary I even though in life they had troubles. The Latin on her tomb reads:"Partners both in throne and grave, here rest we two sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, in the hope of the Resurrection."
Then we went to eat at this little Italian place in Leceister Square where Kristen loves the pizza and I love the Kabobs. Kristen had a fun idea to see if we could see another show so we got tickets for the Lion King. It has to have been my favorite. The set, the costumes, the music, it was overwhelming it was so good. Our seats were up high but we were on the first row of the balcony so in some ways they were awesome seats. It was so good.
Tomorrow I take my love to the airport and have to spend two more weeks here in solitary. I still have some work to do and some documents to look at but I sure will miss that beautiful girl who is carrying my little baby. I can't wait till I have two beautiful girls that have me wrapped around their fingers. Pray for Kristen's travels tomorrow. She should be stateside at about 3.30 p.m. EST. Charlie Harris is picking her up and she is spending the night with the Charlie and Nancy before heading back home. Cheers.
