London Day 1 : National Science Museum + Meeting our Corgi Cousin

Sorry to post that last one many days late. I was sure that had been published but I guess the wifi at SFO wasn’t that great. Or my WordPress app crapped out of me (the more likely possibility). I also planned to post what we did for the past three days here but I can’t even get this draft to save so I think I’ll just aim for one day.

We’ve been in London for three days. It’s been a great trip. Busy and chaotic at times, but good. We’re sleeping at night (mostly) but still very tired and out of it during the day. It turns our getting 8 hours of sleep is not enough to just reset your entire body clock. And that three nights of sleeping at the right time is not enough to reset you either.

We met my sister on Wednesday morning at the dog park and she had her Corgi there. We have been following her corgi (which she got last year) on Instagram for a year and were very excited to meet her. She is a bit skiddish around new people so we didn’t get to pet her much, but ir was very fun to “meet her” in person.

Then my sister’s boyfriend took the dog home and we all went to the National History Museum. Except we were ushered out of the museum upon entering because there was an emergency evacuation. Instead we hit up the National Science Museum (just next door), which was really cool.

We got lunch and then headed back the AirBnB. Everyone had slept the night before but we were all super out of it on our first day.

After grabbing some groceries and chilling out at the AirBnB, we walked to my sister’s house for dinner in her back yard. Again the corgi wasn’t sure about us, but we did enjoy some lovely take out Chinese food.

I’ll try to post more soon. We are keeping our days full because we aren’t here long and jet lag is an ever present threat we’re trying to outrun.

Hope you’re all having a great weekend.
