We set our alarm to get up earlier than usual since we needed to be on our bus to the airport by 8:30. We checked out of our amazing hotel and walked to the bus terminal, making it to the airport with plenty of time to spare. Going through security was relatively painless, and we got to London on time. I had decided that I was not going to take the tube all the way to Axel's office this time -- a long, hot journey the last time we were there. So we took Heathrow Express, which was short and lovely (but according to our German "son" Axel the most expensive train ride anywhere). The train ride ended at Paddington Station, where we had to find the tube that had a stop near our German "son's" work.

After exiting the tube, we meandered around the part of London where Axel works and finally found his office building, where we stopped to drop off our luggage, get some water, and commiserate with him about the Brexit vote the preceding day. After visiting for a while, we had lunch at a place near Axel's work.
American craft beer is everywhere.
Axel actually rode the train home with us for once -- the first time he left work early on a Friday. We ended up having pizza at a restaurant near their house later in the evening. No pictures of children on social media, so this weekend's blog is limited.
