London Trip - Summer of 2018
We are back! For those of you that follow us on social media, you may have seen some of our posts and/or stories from our recent trip to Europe. This was a very special trip as we made our way to Capri, Italy in celebration of my brother’s wedding. In addition to being part of the festivities, Santy also had the honor of capturing the special moments and we are so excited to share those images soon. Needless to say, the wedding was a dream and celebrating with friends and family was priceless.
Today we would love to share with you a little snippet from the first day of our trip. We flew into London on our way to Italy. Although we had less than 24 hours to explore this cool city, we decided to make the best of our time and take in as much as we could. Some of our sightseeing included the Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was awesome exposing our kids to all of these cool places for the first time. We managed to try the famed Fish and Chips (delicious) along with a beer or two at an English pub – which one was conveniently located in every corner it seemed! London was a fun kick off to our vacation. It was a jolly good time!
Thank you for taking a moment to watch this fun little video we made of our day one. We hope to share more as the fun only increased, as well as the group, as the days went by. It is not often you get to travel with so many members of your family by your side. Santy and I truly cherished every moment of this trip. It is also not every day that we shoot a wedding for family. For us, this was bigger than the Royal Wedding! Sneak peek coming soon. Enjoy!
