Once we got back from Rome we spent the next couple of weekends just hanging out around London. We will be spending the next few here as well. But, we did some pretty neat things and I wanted to put up a short post about it and some pictures.
On Friday, January 9, 2009, Greg and I did our traditional annual event of going to see the Nutcracker. This year we saw the Royal Ballet's production. It was magnificent. The costumes, the theatre, the dancing, and the story. This is about the 15th time we have seen it together but it is always good to see different versions of it. The Royal Ballet's version was much more classical ballet and the costumes were very English, as opposed to the Russian versions that we are used to seeing. It was brilliant.

On Saturday, January 10, 2009, we went ice skating at Tower of London. Last winter we skated at the Somerset House so this year we wanted to go somewhere different. It was very nice being right next to the Tower and the River but the ambience at Somerset House last year was much more romantic. The other thing was they weren't even playing music outside, which made no sense at all. However, it was a great day because we did have snow flurries on and off, so it made the mood for ice skating much more appropriate.
Each of us on the skating rink:
After skating we went by the National History Museum (which also had ice skating and seemed nicer than Tower of London) to watch the 1st Annual Ice Carving Competition. There were 6-8 teams carving large block of ice into various statues. The penguins were definitely our favorite. Greg then took me to see Bride Wars. All in all, a very girlie weekend.

Thank you Greg!
