Straw Hat and Floral Mini Dress

I have really never been a hat person and for years said that I look horrible in hats.  And do you know what, that is still true.  However that always related to baseball hats - I used to have to wear them in sports growth up and those do not fit my face well but cute fedora ones?  Those I can get on board with.  In fact, I was actually wearing a hat the day Mark proposed and ...

London Bike Tour - Buckingham Palace Gates

Even though I have lived in London for the last year and a half, believe it or not I have gone on a few London Bike Tours.   Since I had such great experience with Fat Tire Bike Tours on my first one, that is the company I chose to go with in London, specifically the Royal London Bike Tour.   I have done this tour a few times now and event sent my parents on it when I was at ...
