Do these look like the faces of two people excited to leave the country for 10 days? Or rather the faces of two people that haven’t left Tulsa and are already bored travelers messing with the camera? Both are actually true.

Let this be the first of a few posts about our long-awaited trip to London & Paris. When we got married, we agreed that we’d travel to Europe just the two of us. Mainly because I have this irrational fear that once we have kids we’ll never be able to do anything fun ever again…I’m sorry for saying that future-kids, I’m really hoping you’ll prove me wrong.

Anyway, we’ve been planning the trip for a long time and it was lovely. We bought a new camera so that I could practice only using it on manual and so Dustin could show me up with his photography skills. We came home with over 400 images and I will not be sharing all of them because no one wants to see that. Not even me and I lived it, but I am going to share some stories through photos. They’re the stories of our sweet time together in Europe and I am so thankful.

Our first day in London surprised us. Or we surprised ourselves because we were full of energy and ended up walking quite a long way across Westminster Bridge to Westminster Abbey (so cool) to St. James Park to Buckingham Palace and back. We ran around enjoying the weather and the camera.
