This week’s wordless wednesday should be a photo of a box of tissues as first I, then Ravi and now Rhiannon are have all succumbed to the flu.
I don’t want to do that, so instead here are a few photos from the honeymoon

We spent 3 weeks in the UK in 2009 during which Elanor turned 10 months old. We spent just over half of it based out of Edinburgh, where Ravi was attending a conference. We did a family trip to Glasgow. I surprised myself by finding the courage to rent a car (and a car seat) and to drive up to Loch Ness and Inverness (stopping at Loch Lomond and Culloden battle field) with just Ellie for company one day. It was my first time driving on the opposite side of the road (and yes, I kept getting into the passenger seat and wondering where the steering wheel was–if we ever were to get a car in Singapore, I’d have the same trouble at first). After a few weeks, when the conference had wrapped up, we took Ellie on her first trip to London (my second, Ravi’s lost track of how many times he’s been there trip). I made the following video to summarize our trip.

From the plane, as we went over the city on the way to the London City Airport.
I love that you can clearly see Buckingham Palace…I LOVED this descent into London.
Dinner at a restaurant called “Rumors”
To this day, I find “Blind Dates without the Psychos” (and a little bunny to reference “Fatal Attraction”) hilarious.
Picadilly Square
Statue of George Washington, Trafalgar Square in front of the National Gallery
The story behind this statue HAS to be told. They wanted to put up a statue of GW. He said there was no way that a statue of him would go up on British soil. So they imported soil from Virginia, spread that on the ground, and THEN built a statue of GW on top of the Virginia soil. So he’s on American soil, technically.
