They're here! They're here!

The countdown is finally over. . . both for my parents coming and for the ball, which is tomorrow night. It was so exciting to go and meet the group at the airport. When I wasn't looking at my watch, John was. We were both very impatient :-) And they looked so good in their travel shirts. We got to the airport early to beat the traffic so we took some time for some breakfast. I found out that expensive airport food is an international thing.


We got everything sorted and the group settled at the hotel and then John, Linda, Mom, Dad, and I went to lunch at Pret A Manger. It is a nice little sandwich shoppe in Leeds City Centre that I had been to before with Linda. This time I have photographs to go along with it.

Also, do you remember me talking earlier in the blog about Linda taking me to Harvey Nichols? The classiest store in Leeds? (There is even a bell man to open the door for you!) Well I had my camera this time and my dad snapped a picture.
This is the store window display.. the skirt is made out of martini glasses!!
As you can tell, the number of pictures on my blog are increasing. This is because my dad is here and likes to be behind the camera so I can be in front of it!

I took mom and dad to the office today to see the girls they have met before and meet the new ones since the last time they were here. I speak the English "language" very fluently now. . . my mom finds that humerous, although she commented that I haven't picked up an accent yet. (I still have three more weeks tho!)The we took a walk down high street. We stopped in the first bakery because something caught my mom's eye. We walked and shopped until they were begging to go home. To complete the night, we had some amazing English fish & chips! It will be an early night for all of us and a long day tomorrow, but a much anticipated one!
