GBR13

It was a seed planted in the fall last year — a road trip to celebrate Mike’s 40th birthday. While we pondered exotic locales like Iceland, we decided to focus on minimizing travel hassles and return to the original international roadtrip — GBR90. It was a fantastic trip — all the pieces fell into place with some pleasant surprises like getting 13th row tickets to Wimbledon. And we did it all — eating (lots of it including Dim Sum), drinking, sightseeing, a rock concert (in the legendary 100 Club on Oxford Street), shopping, biking, museums, and even a little movie action (as there were no real good theatre options on Sunday night).  Looking forward to future Wolfson brother adventures.

The Last Hurrah — Entourage in London

We decided to enjoy the oasis of having just Kai and added the bonus of Momoe our au pere joining to enjoy a sensible holiday abroad. We had the good fortune of our friend lending us her flat in Hampstead — a very pleasant area north of the city, with nice parks, bakeries, and shops — plus some free tickets from our BA miles, so we were almost there for free. It was a great trip for Kai, who got to explore 3 museums for kids, plus the Winter Wonderland amusements in Hyde Park, plus the local playgrounds of course. And the parents got to eat lots and lots of good food and catch up with some good friends. And a little shopping too. Now feeling ready to tackle the new responsibilities of 2013.
