Day 2: To London

Day 2 was a long but fun day. After the roomy, extra comfortable flight (if only), with Garrett sleeping across our laps on the red eye, we took the tube from Heathrow to our hotel.
Even though we were tired, we took a chance at going to Wimbeldon. We arrived around 5:30 pm, concerned whether we were too late. No problems at all. We "queued" up for grounds passes and made it in. Right away, we lucked into good seats for a quality doubles match among highly ranked players.
Even better, when we were having dinner and watching the giant TV screen of match with Rafael Nadal, a couple handed us two passes into Stadium Court #1, so we each took one boy into
the Nadal match. Very lucky.
On Stadium Court #1, Nadal vs. Mathieu
April and the boys on Centre Court, after the matches.

Maybe they'll be here one day as players.

After a long, long day, we went home and collapsed. That's all for now.
Next step, we'll try to get access for the boys to play on grass courts.

  2. Very nice that you got to see Nadal. Looks like everybody is a bit tired but still smiling.

    By the way, I just checked and it's 79 pounds (total w/taxes etc.) round trip from London Gatwick to Dublin on Ryan Air. I can provide transit to and from the airport - no prob.

    We'll be there on the fourth and we have a Wii and plenty of room.

    Also tell Rex I can get a deal on Guinness - I know people.

    I'm not saying, but I'm just saying...

    Glad you're having fun!
