During our elfy downtime this year, Raymond and I have enjoyed our travels together. So far we’ve told you about our adventures in New York City<\/a> and the Blue Ridge Mountains<\/a>, but we also journeyed to other spots in the world outside of the United States. Any guesses? Here’s a hint: We went back to a place we visited in 2012 during the Olympics…<\/p>\n

Yep?London!<\/p>\n

London is one of my absolute favourite cities, and Raymond had a blast when we went there a couple years ago<\/a>, so we decided to go back so that Raymond could explore some more.<\/p>\n

One evening we headed over to Knightsbridge to pick up some biscuits and chocolates at the Food Halls at Harrods. What can I say?Raymond and I both have a sweet tooth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Hey, double-decker bus, you’re in the way!<\/h6>\n\n
Excited to visit the amazing Food Halls at Harrods<\/h6>\n

The next day we went for a walk along the River Thames so that Raymond could take in even more sights, both historical and fun.<\/p>\n\n

Scoping out the London Eye<\/h6>\n\n
Pausing on Westminster Bridge for a quick photo<\/h6>\n\n
Checking the time on Big Ben<\/h6>\n

Raymond liked riding on the subway in NYC so much that I knew he would really love riding the Tube, which we took to get all over London.<\/p>\n\n

Raymond heeding the warning<\/h6>\n\n

Hopping on the Tube<\/h6>\n

After traipsing around the city, Raymond and I were parched, so we popped into a shop for a cold drink. Raymond was so excited to see his friends’ names on the Coke bottles!<\/p>\n\"Christmas\n

But where’s the ‘Raymond’ bottle!?<\/h6>\n

I think Raymond might love London almost as much as I do, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the two of us visit there again! In the meantime, where else do you think Raymond went this year? Stay tuned to find out! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
