Not a super exciting day today. Stacy and I did extensive research about our trip in December. After hours looking up places B&Bs, transportation costs, things to do, luggage storage etc. we settled on Brighton. This is a small coastal town about 1 hour south of London.

Major chick flick but it was great. It was a nice wa...
