The girls have gone...

Well after 3 ultra fun filled weeks having Rachael and Laura here in Holland they have gone home... I sent them off in the airport this morning at the airport... It's sad to have them go but I think we were all glad to get back to soem normailcy.... But Racahael is right it does make me wannna go home... But still not desperatly.. I'm just excited to go now...
We had so much fun! The first week was my bday... the nest weekend we wnet to Paris and that was great! I think the Eiffel TOwer is so lovely... but I do agree with Rachael that it's all so touristy! But if you look past the crap of Paris you can see all the beauty that made it touristy in the first place! Again we went to Disneyland Paris and I was disapointed by the lack of Disneyness there! I mean it all looks liek it but they just arent teh same kind of people... I know its dumb but I dropped my hat on one of teh rides and I told the ride operater and they tried to find it and when they couldn't they just said sorry someone must have stollen it.. Yes I'm sure that is what happened but in my Disney we would have written soemone a no Strings attached slip to give them a new hat! Then they sent me to city hall... I went there and again the same thing... So I was just so depressed! Then we wnet over to The Walt Disney Studios and we got to take pics with Sulley... so silly enough I felt better after that! We rode Rock and Roller coaster twice and soem other things! Then we headed back to Magic Kingdom... Checked at City Hall again.. They didnt have my hat but they said they did and gave me another lost one... I knew it wasnt mine cause the person had cut the tag off and I hadn't... I wanted to keep the tag that said Disneyland Paris.. Oh well! We had a really great day there!
I had a nice week home with Rachale and then it was off to London! I Love London!! IT's really nice! I feel like everything you want is there... So yeha I really luiked it... We went to saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, the London Tower, Tate Modern Art Museum, Shakespears Globe theater, Saw Of MOntreal in concert, went to the musical Avenue Q, Ate fisn and chips, saw a movie, picadilly Square, Camden Market, Ate at Foxtrot Oscar a Gordon Ramsay resurant, and sheesh I know more... Oh Buckingham Palace, teh Queens Gallery, and yeha so much I can't remember...
We really had alot of fun! I also went to meet Edward a friend at Harrods it was really nice to meet him... I dont think he liked the resturant I picked much... but I thought it was great!
So yeah! That's my short story of this month! for more extended versions you can check out rachaels blog at http://lifeisrachael.blogspot.com
I think her blogs are great and she took a daily journal so she might have soem more details yah know!
So yeah now I' m on the downhill stretch to go home! I'm really sad but I'm also excited to see my niece! Martine is working on getting a new au pair so lets hope!!!

You saw Avenue Q!? Didn't you love it and think of Pean the entire time. I saw it last summer in NY with Allison when I went to visit for my bday!
