London last days

I'm actually back in NY but after the reminder that I still have a blog, I decided I should update this with some pictures of my last days in London.

Ahhh...our birthday! I baked a double layered chocolate cake and had an amazing friend send me flowers from back home! The cake was good but my bad self-control cost me when I overate and did not feel good for two days. 

David played hookie one fine sunny day and we had the most wonderful time. We went up to St. Paul's Cathedral. The cathedral itself is beautiful with a fun whispering room. It has an interesting history and after climbing to the top, have a 360° view overlooking the city. The day got better when we scored free ice skating tickets at Somerset House and was able to catch a ride on the 9 bus without waiting. YES!

I love strolling antique stores and walked to Portobello Road one day. Passed by this window. These are by far the most affordable vintage costume jewelry I've seen that looks decent. I love the purple earrings/pendents. Don't really know what they are but I love the color. Too bad the place was closed. Maybe David can get them for me? =D

After having our flights cancelled due to a snowstorm in NY, we had an amazing fully paid night of relaxing at Park Inn before returning home.
