If you had told sun-loving, flip-flop wearing, Floridian/Californian me that I would be honeymooning in 50-degree London… I would have said you were CRAZY! Yet here I am… with my love by my side keeping me warm and happy… in London… on our honeymoon.

After taking a stress-free, 1.5 hour nap/ride from Gatwick to Piccadilly using Blacklane’s elite car service, we arrived to the Park Lane Hotel (thank you Starwood Points) where it was finally time to relax and enjoy each other’s company. No more packing, no more planning, no more wedding construction or deconstruction, just us, London and our honeymoon… we decided to start with a stroll through St. James’ Park, which lead us to the incredibly beautiful Buckingham Palace:

Can you spot the unicorn below? On either side of the Buckingham Palace gate is the English Lion and the Scottish Unicorn, two animals that support and hold the royal coat of arms. The Unicorn of Scotland symbolizes innocence and purity, healing powers, joy and even life itself – pretty cool!

Known as “the shard of glass,” this stunning 8,000-foot, 95-story masterpiece is adorned with 11,000 plates of glass, and offers the most incredible, sweeping views of London possible… London Eye watch out! It’s no wonder The Shard is quickly becoming London’s new emblem. We decided to go just in time to watch the city transform from day into night:

Oh but it can! We had worked up quite an appetite walking all across the city, but being that it was our honeymoon we were in the mood for something really special…

The service was 5-star (Ricardo and Jacob you were wonderful!), the atmosphere inspiring, the presentation impeccable, the drinks bubbly, the chips, aka. fries, HUGE and with so many incredible tastes flying around, Drew and I both agreed that the goat cheese and almond risotto was our favorite! Fun fact: there is no rice in this dish at all, it is actually made with minced up pieces of cooked celery! It was absolutely DELICIOUS:
