Black Keys morning

Love this song 
Anyway not such a good blogger but in my defense I really haven't talked to my sister shes benn talking to my Mum. They are in Oslo Norway and my nieces father and mother took Jade and Ian around to see the sights. So I'm sure they must have seen many things most tourists don't get to see. I think they are there for one more day and then they hop onto a ship and off they go on their cruise through Europe.

A Busy Day

This is my sister and Bro in law (better late than never) on their way to the airport. Their oldest son took this. I would say they look pretty darn excited !
So today they did a Hop on Off tour. It was on a Double Decker bus. In the morning it was cold and VERY windy but warmed up by the afternoon which was nice. They sat on the top of the bus too :) Thats what I call Troopers !!
I guess the first stop was at the National Art Gallery. They saw original paintings by Van Gogh Sunflowers
This isn't my brother in law. But I would have done this for sure. How often do you get to stand right next to such a AMAZING work of art. : )
There was also art by Monet Water Lilies and Renoir 
Lady in a boat. I know for sure that they saw the sun flowers but the other 2 I just picked random artwork cause I like them the best :) Well I guess thats not very random is it :S hmmm ANYHOO....
They also had lunch at the museum. They had whats called a Ploughmans Lunch which had cold pork pie :S ewww and cheese and meats and pickle plate. 
They also went and saw Kensington Palace. As I was looking for photo's of the Palace it said this is where Diana and Charles lived and where Will and Kate will live as well. How fun is that !! 
                                                             The Palace from the outside.
Can you imagine ! 
In happier days <3 Rest In Peace Princess <3

Jade and Ian's Trip to Europe through My Eyes

Well since I probably won't be getting to the U.K anytime soon I thought I might keep a little blog about their trip from what they tell me. 
So it was actually the second day of their trip. There were some issues with the phone I guess they text 2 times yesterday and I didn't get any. They got some phone where the call gets transferred from Canada to the U.S and on to the U.K. Meh ANYWAY 
They had a good flight no details so there must not have been any crazy people on the plane. They are staying at the Russell Hotel in London. Its a pretty nice hotel from the pics online 

 I may get to see their actual pictures on day but I'm not going to hold my breath LOL 
They went to a museum which my Mum doesn't remember which one it was. My end of the conversation was they had sea food chowder and steak with Bearnaise. Wonder what Bearnaise would taste like on a veggie burger hmm. It was 10 pm there so they were having a snack of wine apples and balsamic vinegar chips from Spain. Apparently the city that is known for is chips would make their own Crisps. 
Well that wasn't very informative but that was what I got from the conversation today.
