An American Weekend in London

A little glimpse into what turned out to be an American weekend in London:

Byron Burgers
Finally an American tasting burger restaurant in London! I have been trying to find a good burger since we arrived. Now only if I could find an ice cold Amber pint to go with it...

Dale Chihuly Exhibit
We stumbled upon this while walking in Soho. It is so cool to see a piece of Seattle in London... or quite a few beautiful pieces!

Natural History Museum
We saw dinosaurs and tried to find pictures of Mount St Helens and Mount Rainier in the Earthquake and Volcano section. We found one picture where the caption below said something like "devastation from a Tokyo earthquake" but the picture had mailboxes in mud that said "Wash." on them - clearly from Mount St. Helens. I almost complained.

Dinner at Big Easy
We had a double date with our friends, Brooke and Steve. They are a couple from Seattle that got married and moved over to London around the same time we did, and we were introduced to them by one of our mutual friends. The similarities between us are uncanny, and we hang out with them quite a bit here. We went to check out an "American-themed" restaurant called Big Easy. Huge portions, lots of lobster, cold drinks and a Southern-feel atmosphere - great way to spend a Saturday night.

Ful-America

Sunday we went to the Fulham game in the sunshine. I just learned from Aaron that some people call the team Ful-America because so many Americans support them - they've typically had a lot of American players and it's pretty easy to get tickets to the games. Unfortunately, they lost the game, and they are currently in last place meaning they might be relegated out of the premier league... which has never happened in the history of Fulham Football Club.

MLB Season Pass
Aaron bought a MLB season pass meaning he can watch the any baseball game (mainly the Mariners) from his computer, phone or our apple TV.
Hmm... this could be very dangerous for me...
