Theo recently paid his aunt and uncle a visit in London town to experience first hand who and what were behind all those gmail video chats and if they lived in the virtual world or a real world. While many things about the last 4 years have been unbelievable, we are indeed real, and little Theo was in for a real treat!
Theo was joined by Alissa and Jeremy and also Ma Dukes, making her first visit to see us in London and second overall. We were a little nervous at first as it was going to be the whole crew plus Erin and I in our little 500 ft flat, but thankfully Sam and Jess were kind enough to let us crash down the street while they were back in the US.
As usual, Theo was a perfect gentlemen and little charmer, being a great trooper while hitting the pavement and taking in everything with a curious enthusiasm. We went to Notting Hill, Holland Park, along the river and around town.
During the week I had to skip out to Malta and Erin to Malmesbury so the fam went to Paris for three nights and had a great time there as well. Theo got his first passport stamp about 19 years before I got mine.
One of the best moments captured was Theo in the red phone booth that most visitors take advantage of when visiting us in Holland Park.
Of the weekend, the best moments were at our flat, watching him run around and explore. The most interesting thing for him was without question the washing machine. In London they are front loading with a plexi-glass cover so he was able to witness the magic of clothes washing and was truely impressed.
It was really great to have everyone visit and to show them the other side of the rabbit hole!
Theo had so much fun with you guys!
