I was thrilled for Cassidy to come over for a few days of her spring break. She was only here for about 3 days, but we did as much as possible during the time. It was a fun, exciting weekend and I thought I'd share some of it.
She arrived on Thursday morning and we spent Thursday with her napping to recover and just walking around Richmond here. I think her highlight of the day was the Spanish tapas place we had dinner at. Cassidy loved it.
Friday we went into London and she felt she had to see Harrads, where Cassidy found something she liked. I finally convinced her it wouldn't fit in her suitcase :)
That evening, we went to see Monty Python's Spamalot in London's west end. What a funny play! Lots of surprises. One thing we had to try was the Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale
Then on Saturday, we went to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. It's a huge tourist event, and we were able to see the new guards march in, the horse guards come by, but once they got inside the gates we couldn't see anything because of the crowds.
The it was off to the houses of Parliament. Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, where Cassidy had to compare her watch for accuracy against the clock. We ran into some friends and had our picture made, then it was off to souvenir shopping. Finally it started to rain and we hopped a double decker bus for a ride across town to the train station.

Overall we had a great time. I hope she comes back soon.
