Weekend in London

Paul and I left the kiddos with their Mema and GG for the weekend and took off for London for a long weekend.  We got to visit with family and went to an Arsenal game.  Of course I forgot to take pictures during our family visits, but we did get pictures of the game.  It was lovely to see everybody though and next time we will go for longer and bring the kids - who can not wait to see their Grandma, Papi, Sarah, Lindel & kiddos!!

So going to Emirates stadium for Paul was like Christmas, his birthday and every other holiday combined.  It was a great experience and lot of fun.  Arsenal won 3-0 and Van Persie scored a hat trick.

The stadium has it's own tube stop.  Everybody getting off has their arsenal gear on.  I bought the red hat for the occasion.

So the gate is to separate the away fans from the home fans after the game.  Apparently, they do not get along so well.  Funny, before the game we asked a security guard for a pub to go to since we were there so early.  He made sure we were Arsenal supporters before telling us the pub.  He said if you are not Arsenal fans then you should not go.

This is what you see when you come out of the tube.
