London, England

I cannot believe it has been over three weeks since we got back from our trip to England. It seems so long ago now, yet at the same time feels like yesterday. A lot of travel memories made and I will absolutely cherish all that quality family time. We travelled all the way across the world specifically for my youngest sister's belated wedding, but also managed to make the most of our reasonably short but sweet trip. My sister got married via Zoom during the peak of the pandemic in 2020, so it was a very special belated ceremony and celebration in West Wales with close family and friends.

I will get to the West Wales part of the trip on a separate blog post, but I wanted to focus on our first few days in London first. Before I even get to that though, here is an overall view of our trip:
