Tea Time!

In January, Nancy and I had a girls' day and went to see the Princess Diana exhibit at the Queen Mary.  Remember this post?  Anyhow, after seeing the exhibit, we went to The Tea Room (a restaurant right by it) and had dessert.  While there, we noticed these women hanging out and having a cute finger food, tea time meal; Nancy mentioned that it would be fun to do that sometime, so we did!  Since it's Nancy's birthday, it's the perfect way to celebrate!  My mom, Nancy, and I were super excited to see what a real tea time was like!  It's called the Windsor Tea and it comes with a course of finger sandwiches and scones and then a course of petit fours for dessert!  It was all super cute, fancy, and yummy!  

We all agreed that the sandwich flavors were not necessarily what we would order if given the option, but it ended up being great and it was fun to have a chance to try some foods that we wouldn't ordinarily eat. For example, caviar.  Neither my mom nor I had ever tried caviar and Nancy never eaten black caviar before and we weren't super sold on eating it, but we rolled with it and it was actually pretty good!

That's caviar on top of smoked salmon, cucumber, and bread.  Actually pretty tasty!

We had a good time together just talking and laughing!  When dessert came out, we were super excited because they were SO adorable!  

We weren't sure how we could eat something so pretty...but we did!  HAHA!  And they were every bit as yummy as they were cute!  Especially the pink ones!

It was fun to spend time together and do something special to celebrate Nancy's birthday!

After lunch we walked around the souvenir shops a bit and just took some time to relax and browse.  Life is super hectic, so it was nice to do something at a slower pace for a change!

What a fun day!!! Happy Birthday, Nancy!!!
