Ava's First Trip to England

Our family has been looking forward to our trip to England for some time now and the next two weeks will be full of many firsts for Ava.  After a visit with Grammy, Poppy, and Divot, our trip started off with a rest at the AA Admirals Club at LAX and thanks to using every last mile we had Ava was able to travel in style - first class to O'Hare and business class to Heathrow (unfortunately we will be in second class/steerage/sardine class on the way home).  Ava soaked up all the perks, the most important of which were the warm chocolate chip cookies (even more exciting than the lie flat beds).

Upon arriving in London, Ava got to experience her first tube ride and her first rude Londoner.  Daddy got up to allow an elderly woman to sit down, a guy tried to poach the open seat so Daddy blocked him and slightly bumped into elderly woman #2 who proceeded to complain about the people with lots of luggage (not recognizing that the guy with all the luggage was trying to help out her friend.

After dropping off our gear at our apartment, we made the short walk past Charles Dickens' house to Coram's Fields.

Our main goal was to find Dimple, the bunny that Ava adopted (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa).  We easily spotted Dimple but he was in a shy mood.  We plan to come back again to see him eat and hop about.

Coram's Fields has tons of play areas for kids of all ages and Ava especially enjoyed the zip line, while Daddy joined in for some fun on the swings.
