It has been nearly four weeks since we closed our schools, began a stay at home order, and slowly backed away from life as we knew it. While the apocalyptic feeling of four weeks ago has not subsided, we try to balance the despair with moments of joy.
The long road to loss, while allowing time to prepare for the difficulty to come, can be fraught with its own pain and difficulty. This post is a reflection on a few of the things I've learned in this season of anticipatory grief.

London, England is city that marries a long tradition and history with 21st century modernity, and this vibe was evident in what we were able to do and see during our four-day stay.

This post is a transition from our time in Hampshire and surrounding counties to our trip into London for the second part of our travels. We rented a car for our first six days of travel, which was an adventure in itself, and then utilized London's famed public transportation network to get around the city. The kids especially loved our trips on the London Underground.
