Europe bound...

Hello from London!  Kaniz, Samarah and I arrived in London (UK) earlier this week - having a great time so far, although struggling with the time difference a little. Anyway, will post more about our European vacation later on.. but I'd finished a set of photos before we left and wanted to post it.
