Happy Presidents Day!

Presidents Day is not exactly being celebrated here in the UK, but I still follow the US holidays (even if I would have to being working today if I was in the US). Oh and the photo above has nothing to do with Presidents Day but something to do with the Royal Family. It's a picture of St. Pauls Cathedral that I took a few weeks ago. We haven't been inside yet, but plan to go sooner or later. The Royal Family holds most of their religious events at Westminster Abbey, but Prince Charles and Princess Diana were married at St. Pauls.

Anyway, nothing too exciting to talk about this week. We had a good weekend combined with getting out and relaxing at home. We went to Borough Market on Saturday and I had an amazing chorizo sandwich, which I highly reccomend! Chad is heading to work on a project in Manchester (home of the Man U football club) until Wednesday. I didn't get him to take a camera but if he has to go back, maybe we'll go up for a weekend and I'll get some pictures.

I have one more photo to share - here is the UK equivalent to Pier 1, it's just called "Pier" but it's pretty much the same store. I love comparing stores here. For example, the Gap has totally different stuff but it still feels like the Gap in the US when you walk in a store. I also heard that they are going to be opening a Banana Republic here, which should be interesting! Enough about shopping for now. Hope that everyone has a great week!
