Today, my sister is coming in from New York. This means that I have a week filled with fun adventures ahead of me. What to do--lots of museum hopping, shopping (yay July sales!), and eating! R and I have already begun creating a list of restaurants we want to go to while she is here and we've also booked Due South in Brighton for Saturday afternoon lunch.
Here's a short list of the things I definitely want to do with the sister:
1. Thames walking-now that we're so close to the river, I can't wait to take a long stroll down the Thames Path
2. V & A: They've got a Surrealism exhibit that we need to catch before it vanishes into thin air.
3. Tate Modern: On that last note, we need to catch the Dali exhibit.
4. Borough Market: Lots of fatty, British foods that we can't get at home. Yum!
5. Churchill Arms: Thai food here we come!
6. Beautcamp Pilates: To sweat off all of that eating we'll be doing.
7. Harrod's and Selfridges and by this, I mean, primarily the food halls.
8. Roam the lovely streets of Chelsea to see how many famous people with names on blue plaques we can identify.
9. Cambridge
10. Globe Theatre: That is if it doesn't rain. High chance of unlikely.
More than anything, I am just happy to have her here and see what her impressions are on our life here in the big U.K. I also can't wait to show off my left of the road driving skills (or lack thereof).
Today, in preparation for breakfast al fresco, I'm going to continue to clean the garden. I started yesterday and it turned into a much bigger project that I expected. Nonetheless, it's great having an outdoor space. I bought some small citronella candles at Habitat and with a little elbow grease, we'll be ready to go!
