The Laudico Family is going on an awesome summer adventure this year. Lisa and Alex are going to London to celebrate his upcoming 9th birthday with a tour of the town. We get to stay with our great friends Angela, Bea and Theo in Chelsea. It is a perfect jumping point to do the great highlights that Matthias and I enjoyed almost 2 years ago. Tony and Matthias are meeting us on July 25 in London before we head to Birmingham to visit our English relatives (Aunt June, sister of Grandma Kathy, and all her family) then off on a 12 day cruise of the Baltic Sea. We will get to see Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Berlin and Talinn. If things go well we will get to see dear friends on home leave in Amsterdam and finally get to see Emma in London as we head back home.
