For several weeks leading up to the Olympics I had been
walking around my house shouting this out at random times in an attempt to get
my husband Sonny and my dog Misha excited about the upcoming 2012 Summer
Olympics. They would just look at me like I’m crazy. And now they’re almost
over, sigh…
There are several reasons why I was so excited about this year’s Summer Olympics: (1) I love watching swimming, diving, and gymnastics (2) I was in London in June 2011 so I’m excited the games are going to be there and (3) it meant I got to throw a viewing party for the Opening Ceremonies and have it “London” themed!

I would love to show you pictures of all the food, decorations, and wonderful guests at my lovely viewing party...except we forgot to take any! Sonny and I love to entertain and we were so busy cooking and making sure everyone had a drink in their hand that we just forgot.
Therefore, I will show you some real London food/places from my last trip and some pictures of my favorite moments at the Summer 2012 Olympics.
Fish and chips that I had at a pub called
“The Chandos”, near Trafalgar Square, London, delish!!
I did the “Royal London” tour with Fat Tire Bike Tours and
at the end I asked my tour guide the best pub to go to for dinner that night within walking distance of my hotel.
Here was the winner: The Churchill Arms. They had the best Thai food. Yes, you did just read that: Thai food. The place was packed and the Thai food was awesome!

Did you know that most every major European city has an Arc
just like the most famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris? I didn’t.
London has one, pictured here, called the Wellington Arch.

A beautiful Champagne Bar whilst waiting for my train to
Paris at St. Pancras station? Yes, please!
And finally, sunset on the streets of London. At around 9:30pm!
Beautiful.
I love Team USA gymnastics, but Mckayla Maroney's face after not winning gold, ick…
Who doesn’t like a very dapper-looking Beckham now and then?
Usain Bolt. Bolted to the finish line. Thanks for the pun Bob Costas, ha ha!
Michael Phelps. The most decorated Olympian. Ever.
And then there’s my favorite, Missy Franklin! She seems so sweet and
genuine. I want to adopt her.
I hope you enjoyed my pictures – do you have
a favorite London or Olympics memory?
