In mid-September we moved out of our hotel in Slough to a two-bedroom apartment in Belgravia (a London neighborhood directly behind Buckingham Palace). It wasn't a place we could afford to live long term, but it was fun for a few weeks! Donnie's school was a short 10-minute walk, and we were in walking distance of all the tourist destinations in Westminster. The next few weeks we explored a different part of London every weekend to figure out where we wanted to live. We began with calling our apartment "Ebury Street," but the kids loved counting house numbers when walking home and the cry of "117!" became its new name.
