Sister visit and London Day 1

I hadn't seen my sister for two years, since before we'd moved. We do text a lot and talk, but I have been excited for months waiting for her family's visit.

Lesa, Jimmy, and James flew into Heathrow, so we caught a train for our first visit to London.

The train ride wasn't too long, only a few hours, and was very comfortable. The kids played on their tablets and got along really well.

Once we arrived in London, we had a taxi take us to our hotel. We really didn't want to deal with the underground and luggage with the kids. Although we were early, our rooms were ready, so we settled in and waited for family to arrive. We didn't have to wait very long.

Of course, the kids couldn't contain their excitement, but Lesa and Jimmy were feeling the jet lag. Lesa, Matt, and I took the kids for a walk while Jimmy rested.

I thought that our visitors might need extra rest, so all we had planned for the first day was an early dinner. We had booked a table at The Narrow, a Gordon Ramsay restaurant near our hotel, and the food did not disappoint.

I completely forgot to take food pictures

We really enjoyed both the food and the company at dinner, and when we were finished we went back to the hotel for an early bedtime. We only had two days to explore London, so we wanted to make the most of it.
