It's Cold in England

I am not missing the heat and humidity in Florida but today was a bit to cold for me. We went over to the Long Walk again today to see the Queen. It is the last day of Royal Ascot and the last day the Queen will be driving out of the palace and down the Long Walk on her way to the races. We wanted Abby to see the Queen so the whole family packed a picnic lunch and headed into Windsor. We parked the car at Kyle's office and walked through town to the castle gate where the Queen would exit. We got there early and spent about 2 hours out on the green. By the time the Queen drove past we were so cold we could barely lift our hand to wave. It was in the 50's here today and the fact that tomorrow is the official start of summer made no difference. Every once in a while the sun would come out from behind a cloud and warm us up only to disappear again. On our way back to the car we stopped at a playground for Abby to play a while. From there we walked into town to feed the swans down at the river and have dinner at WAGAMAMA. This was an adventure in dining for us. IT is a restaurant that serves Japanese "fast food". Abby had some sort of soup with ramen noodles and tofu. I thought poor Ger was going to cry but he and I found something that we thought would be edible and it actually was quite good. We are now home for the evening and the boys are watching the World Cup.
Tomorrow is going to be a rough day for all. K&B are heading for the Ukraine in the morning and will wake Abby before they go. I am not looking forward to the morning but I am sure we will all survive. We have plans for baking tomorrow with hopes that it will distract Abby enough so she doesn't miss mom and dad too much. I also see a quiet afternoon of movie watching and popcorn. If it is as cold tomorrow as it was today I think we will all be happy to stay in.
