Off To London
The day tripper
As Jessica was leaving her suburban home in Topeka, her husband John asked, “Where are you going, Babe?”
“London. I have wanted to ride the London Eye for years. So I’ve decided to go ahead and do it.”
“You’re going all the way to England to ride a Ferris wheel?”
“Well, I thought I would drop by Paul McCartney’s and have tea also.”
“Sounds delightful. Anything else?”
“Mick Jagger invited me to a Rolling Stones practice. That sounds fun.”
“No doubt. I see you are taking grocery bags.”
“I thought I would do some shopping also.”
“Get some ice cream.”
Based on the Centina Pentina prompt: Write a 50 or 100 word story about a Ferris wheel.
