Not your typical vaca photo

Someone asked me this morning, "what was the highlight of your trip?"

And my answer was not short....

First of all, London is like an old friend for us. The Hubby did his grad school there back in the '70s at UCL. Younger Son spent a summer there, recently, at LSE. My first visit to London was in December 1982, still a newlywed (in my mind), on the way to meet my in-laws in Pakistan for the first time. Over the years, we've gone back to London, time and again. So, do we do touristy things? Sure, we do. There's so much to do in London, we haven't done it all; we're still working on it. And there are new things to see and do every time we go.

This time, the highlight of my trip was time spent with sons. The Younger came in from France, where he's in grad school. The Older, we were leaving there for his grad school when we returned to the States. So, for me, it was time with kids. Who aren't really kids. They're adults now. But they're still my boys. And I don't know if we'll have any more family vacations after this. My highlight was time with my boys.

And this photo sort of represents that time.
