Olympics in London :)

Today was quite the fun filled day! I headed over to Greenwich and checked out the Olympic Park! It was crazy busy and quite the adventure getting over there! There was this ski-lift over the Thames to get to the park! They called it a "gondola"... but that just didn't make any sense to me. It was not a boat from Italy. So go figure.

Riding down the Thames to the Park, look what I ran into!
On the Gondola!!!

After looking around the park for a bit, we headed over to Hyde Park where they were showing the Opening Ceremonies! We hung around there, but it was way too crowded and we didn't have the tickets to get into all of the extra cool stuff... so we headed home and watched the ceremonies as a big group! Eating, laughing, singing, enjoying the Queen jump from a helicopter, and Mr. Beans rock out to Chariot's of Fire! It was such a great night! It's been so great to be here during the Olympics! And it's only just begun!!!

Opening Ceremonies!

Us at the Maritime Museum, we popped in before the Park!

At the Olympic Park!!!

Eating at Nando's on the river!

Cheers!
