Erik moved to Cambridge England in December and since Karna had a work trip to the UK/Poland/Moscow, we joined her for the first part of the trip and visited Erik. He came down from Cambridge to meet us at Heathrow, where we said goodbye to Karna as she headed off to her work site in Bracknell. Once in Cambridge, we had a short walk around just before dusk.

Tuesday we were up early to catch the train to London and then to Paris. We stayed with Jean & Martine, friends of my parents since 1978. We arrived around noon and then took the bus to Luxembourg Gardens. Liam loved the playground and Elsa napped in the stroller. We walked back to Martine's and had a wonderful dinner with her, Jean and their son David. There was wine from Babio, the winery of Martine's daughter Cecile. Babio is in the south near Narbonne. Hopefully we can make it to Babio in a future visit. Wednesday morning we to the spectacular Natural History Museum (no flash photography was allowed, but I had a f1.4 35 mm lens that worked wonderfully). We took an early afternoon train home. Karna returned from a one night stay in Edinburgh and joined us in Cambridge.

On Thursday Karna went to her company's site in Cambridge and we took a beautiful walk around the backs in Cambridge and then climbed to stairs to enjoy the view from the top of Great St. Mary's Church.

Friday we took the train to London and saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We found a playground nearby and Karna met a friend for lunch. We walked to Trafalgar Square and then met Erin and the girls at the Science museum. Elsa enjoyed playing with them. We had a lovely dinner nearby.

On Saturday we flew back to San Francisco and Karna flew to Warsaw. We had a wonderful family trip.
