Lauren managed to keep it a surprise for 200+ days. Then I blew it. Rose and I were finalizing plans for our time in London when she saw it on my calendar: One Direction on June 6. With less than 30 days on the countdown, the cat was out of the bag.
Rose’s first choice on the trip was to be in London for her birthday and it turned out that One D’s world tour would pass through London at the same time. I had told her the show was sold out; I just didn’t tell her we were among the lucky ticket holders. Anyway, we managed to keep it quiet until May.
Before she knew about the tickets, she planned to have tea and shop in the same places as her favorite blogger, Zoe. She chose an alternative tea served a double decker bus (the Bakery Bus Tea Tour), a sunset booking on the London Eye, an elaborate cake off, and shopping at Harrods. To this she now added, with delight, the One D concert.
So without further ado, the birthday week photos:
