London

We are back from our long weekend in London with my brother Chip and his family. They are off to Paris for a few days before I pick them up in Cologne on Thursday around noon. London was great as usual. We dealt with all of the bomb scares like all of the other Londoners and went on with our lives as if nothing happened. It made for some difficulties in getting around the city but we never let it get us down.

We saw every sight you could think of, climbed the steps to the VERY top of St. Paul's, spent some time at Harrod's, rode the London Eye, Chip and I enjoyed a pint at Punch and Judy's, we saw the play "Wicked" on Saturday night (probably the best show I've ever seen!) and just enjoyed spending time with each other. It had been 1 and a half years since Kelli and I have seen them so it was great to reconnect and see how much our little niece and nephew had grown up.

Much more to come as we're spending five days in and around Wiesbaden over next weekend.

Dan and Kelli,
Congrats on the Rankin to be. Will he wear the maze and blue?
BTW, all here in DE were wondering how Chip, Chris and kids were making out with the bombings.

We must get to Germany for Ocktober fest. And we did miss you at Indy this year.

the only way our child will wear the maize and blue is if we disown him/her.

Chip, Chris, Kate and Jake made it throughout the "bombings" completely unscathed and unaffected. We did everything we wanted to do with minor inconveniences

If you need to make it to Oktoberfest, you MUST be there THIS year. write or call me directly, space is limited (chip is waffling)
