2nd Day at Wimbledon and the Zoo adventure for Trey, Annette and Gaby

Each day just gets better and better!! The weather finally turned to and the sun was out for most of the day!  Yeah!!!  The tennis goers were treated to an amazing day of matches on Center Court. We saw Serena Williams win easily, followed by another easy match for Djokovic, ( though Mayer played quite well).  The last  match on Center Court was not so easy for David Ferrer.  His opponent, Martin Alund,  played quite well and actually took the 2nd set.  Ferrer won  in four..  All the matches were excellent and so much fun to watch!  It is SO fast on grass.  TV doesn't really give you the feel of how fast it really is!!  

Our concierge, Frank, was able to obtain the most amazing seats for us today. Grant and I were on the sidelines of center court about 15 rows up!! Wonderful seats!  Duffy and Mimi and Bill sat In the same section as yesterday, but they were lower down..

We made it for strawberries and cream today -- a Wimbledon tradition we didn't want to miss!  We did a bit more roaming around the extensive grounds. You are SO CLOSE to the matches  on the outer courts!!! It is a really neat experience.

While we were enjoying the grass courts, Trey, Annette and Gaby were off on their own adventure!! The zoo was a big hit with Gaby as was Hampton  Court!  They topped off their evening by meeting good friends from Chicago, Kevin and Erika Strom, for a "beverage"!  Kevin and Erika have graciously invited us for a barbecue at their house when we return later in the week to London!  We're all packing tonight.  We leave the city tomorrow for a few days in the country --- the Cotswolds!  Tomorrow, we visit Windsor Castle in route  to our lovely new hotel in the Cotswolds. Stay tuned for more Fuller Family adventures!!!!



More tomorrow!! Check back!
