We're halfway to the weekend (more or less).
I have been feeling sort of meh this week, IDK why exactly. I think I need a vacation, but between my mom and the UK trip, my PTO is already spoken for. DH and I have talked about getting off this hamster wheel, but easier said than done some days.
I have run out of things to watch at the gym. Suggestions? I flirted with both Peaky Blinders and Sherlock, but haven't gotten much traction with either one. Open to any and all suggestions, except for Trailer Park Boyz, which DH thinks is hilarious and I just can't.
And s/o UK, taking suggestions of places to visit. I have been reading my travel guide, and the drinking from a fire hose cliché applies here. Flying into London, wedding is in Norfolk, so we plan to divide our time between the two--probably more in London, because London. DH already knows he wants to see the Tower of London. I would like to see Westminster Abbey. Looking at the transportation museum, because it looks like it's right up DS's street (to borrow a phrase from my FSIL). I would love to do a boat tour on the Thames at some point.
There is obviously way more to do than we can possibly cram into a week (esp. with the wedding), and I doubt that any combination of things we chose would be a bad use of our time. By the time we go, Wooz will have just turned 8 and DS will be almost 4, plus I don't know what kind of shape my mom will be in that point. It will be high season, so bonus points for anything cool that may be a little off the beaten path or not as huge of a tourist draw.
ETA: I have only been to the UK, once, on business, so I was working pretty much the whole time. My only sightseeing was a free afternoon when I took the train out to Windsor Castle, so I probably wouldn't do that again.
