Hey London!

This weekend was SO packed full of fun! Amanda's mom and sister came to stay with us this week and we met them in Soho (a city in the West end of London). Our very first stop was the TKTS booth to buy tickets for a play. They round up all the unsold tickets the night before the show, and sell discount tickets to all the plays going on that day. We decided to go and see Wicked since I've never seen it before! I don't know if I was just swooning over the British accents the whole time, but it was the best play I've ever been to in my life.

We had a LOT to see in a short amount of time, so we decided a Big Bus tour would be the best way to go. We felt like the nerdiest tourists of all time, but we saw so many cool things and we found London's most adorable tour guide. We also made time to visit one of London's oldest pubs, Ye Olde Chesire Cheese, for some super authentic fish and chips.

Amanda and I have also been drooling over Primark's website for WEEKS, so we made sure we spent a good chunk of our time shopping their three level palace of clothes. It was big enough we lost each other for a good two hours. Kind of scary when one of you doesn't have a working cell phone! Luckily we bought the entire store and found each other right outside our apartment. Enough talk though... here are a zillion pictures of our super fun weekend!
